[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was born into a European aristocratic family. My forefathers were ennobled in the 10th century. The family tree, as currently researched, stretches out for more than a thousand years. Were all my ancestors happy and comfortable? Of course not. My family line survived countless European wars. Many ancestors killed and were killed, some in political or religious wars, others in assassinations (so rivals could inherit title and castles). Some generations were rich, some were poor. The point is to survive, and hopefully do so while knowing your place in the world, and who came before you. It doesn't matter if your child is less well-off than you. Perhaps a distant descendant will research the family tree and find you, and know you were one of the contributors to their existence, comfort and happiness. Take the long view. [/quote]
