life is not epic.

Life is not epic. It never was or will be.
Even during the medieval chivalric and arthurian times life was not epic. stories make them epic. stories make them Romantic. they paint a picture of knights in shining armor, large castles and white horses. they didn't tell you that people smelled bad cause they hardly bathed. they didn't tell you that their teeth were decayed. they didn't tell you about the chastity belts that rusted and gave the women infections. infection and disease tend to make it repulsive.

there are no vague glorious clashes. just bloody ones where they're so scared they piss in their pants. there is no 'returning with your shield or on it.' especially since no one uses shields anymore.

no, life is not epic. Life ceases to be epic when you finish the last page of a fairytale or storybook, close it, and put it back on the shelf where you found it.
