/his/, history, and the world in general is a pretty grim place and I feel as though all this negativity needs to see a glimmer of goodness in this world.
Any chance people know any stories about heroes from both historical epics and epic history who end up getting that much sought out happily ever after where they complete their life goal or gets the girl in the end?

>William Wilberforce
Spends his life trying to abolish slavery in the British Empire dedicating 20 years of his life in the abolitionist movement before passing the Slave Trade Act of 1807 which stopped the Atlantic slave trade. However this did not abolish slavery throughout the empire and it would take another 26 years for him to finally pass the Slavery Abolition Act, 3 days before his death. Imagine the accomplishment he must have felt is his last few days having helped his fellow man to such an extent.

>Odysseus
Spend 10 years fighting a war against the Trojans instead of raising your son and tending to your wife before then spending another 10 years sailing home struggling against monsters, witches, and Gods/Goddesses before arriving home and with the help of your brave son and loyal servants save your wife who has been faithful this whole time before taking her to bed making a banging tale in the process.

Anyone know any other Happy endings? My knowledge of Epics is pretty eurocentric and I would love to know a real life story of someone getting their waifu for laifu.

>At first glance it might appear to support a verdict of suicide: the “disgusting” practice became unbearable for her, and she ended it the only way she knew how, with a bullet through her chest. But look at this scenario: The young girl is in possession of the kind of knowledge the mere whisper of which, were it to become public, could destroy Hitler. Worse, she’s incapable of remaining discreet. She blurts out the truth to Strasser; she tells a talkative girlfriend that her uncle is a “monster. You would never believe the things he makes me do” (according to Hanfstaengl); she may be talking to a Jewish lover in Vienna and God knows who else. And, according to Heiden, in their final quarrel, Geli may even have told Hitler she’d talked. Confessed that “in her despair [she’d] told outsiders about her relations with her uncle.”

Why did Hitler pork his niece? Was he retarded?

Hello! I'm just a lurker (my first post). I was hoping some of you could point me to some literature regarding this time and place. I need it for a school project and I don't want to just use wikipedia as a source.

Has anyone got an English source that can give some insight into Ursula Von Kardorff's life prior to 1942 (The time period of Diary of a Nightmare). Her life as a journalist floating in and out of aristocratic estates is really weird out of context.

What do you fags think of the hypothetical theory that we're all the same God? We're all parts God plays to kill boredom or some shit. When we die we actually go back to our original ourselves and remember everything.
Every insect, every blade of grass, every genocide victim, every rapist, every gangster, every policeman etc
We're all God
