I was just thinking about what exactly the ancients would actually do in the afterlife, other than occasionally looking down at their wayward offspring and the chaotic world below, feeling damn grateful they never have to deal with that nonsense again, and thinking they’d gotten the hell out of there at a good time.
Because let’s face it, they probably have a few more things to do than just sit around staring down at the living world they left behind. It would be one hell of an eternity if that was not the case. For one thing, their arses would go numb and they would probably lose the ability to walk. But I digress. The ancient bygone nations have surely got other, and perhaps better, things to do with their time in a place free of war and ear-pulling, nagging bosses.
