More than likely, you would not have been a knight, you would have been a peasant working the fields for your short life before dying of some incurable bacterial infection when you got a cut on some of your farm tools.

I see what you're saying

And it's correct

But

A lot of people also long for the relative simplicity and predictability of peasant life.

What is the entirety of the cottagecore aesthetic if not a longing for that? (well, that and a hint of racism but y'know y'know y'know)

One of these literally shows a dead soldier in a field of flowers so, yeah.

It's idle longing. I could give up my career, move to a deeply rural area, and break my back doing menial jobs until I die of health complications at 64. I won't, but it's nice to long for the imagined simplicity sometimes y'know?
