I guess in the end, people just want to run where they’re from, take it or leave it.

In the history of western civilization, it always amazed me how, at a certain point, waves of Nordic people continuously come down from the north and invade the “known” societies of the south. First off, where were these people coming from? Did they just thaw out at some point and start raging? Were the people that came down from the north the losers of the battle for the cold land of Scandinavia, or the winners looking to get more?

Walking around Stockholm, you get a picture of this past, from all the monuments and statues that pay homage to the royal families and Nordic warriors from long ago. It all gives you a heavy feeling of a history from another source. Then again, why were they holding down this cold tundra so hard? Granted, in the summer, the nature is quite beautiful with the feeling of space all around, but that probably didn’t factor in too much, back in the day, when the world was less populated and nature was what there was all around. Must have been something. I guess in the end, people just want to run where they’re from, take it or leave it.
