    I think it's cuz they sympathize with the individual child and forget that the masses have many, many children too. this is just a consequence of having so much propaganda and culture focused around the nobility rather than from the view of the people.

        Ooh that's good. I love reading prose like this. I would love to read him more.

        It's also interesting just how many details we know about the famous historical emperors and compare that to how little is known about the peasants and the people. Everyone lives an eventful life, filled with enough details to write books about it, yet the masses are lumped together and the kings given their own histories. I don't know. Whenever I read earlier literature, it always bothers me just how much is centered around the rulers.
