Caulfield: Misery seems to be a constant. So is it wrong to prefer misery that at least wasn't directly and deliberately caused by other people? Anyway, that's why the plague is my favorite history subject. Frazz: I like this one day in 1836 when nothing happened and everybody was in a good mood but nobody wrote about it.
Plague is as much a human caused issue and anything. Humans encroaching on forest territory picked it up from animals and bad hygiene coupled sea travel led to it’s spread…. Or we could focus on how climate change preceded the worst breakouts by facilitating malnourishment due to crop failure and the subsequent cultural revolution known as the Renaissance was made possible by the lessened competition for resources since 1/3-1/2 of the population was now dead.
