Reminds me of a story from when I was younger doing door-to-door sales (horrible job, never made so much money). One day an old couple opens the door, give the pitch and realize they aren't interested, so I start talking to them.
Guy tells me about his time in WW2, and how they wrote a couple books (and shows me the pictures in the book to highlight his presence). Tells a story about taking out a german airport. They were going from plane to plane planting C4 (or whatever explosive it was at the time, the story is about 20 years old now). Then, after all the planes were covered and hadn't been spotted, they started getting cocky and planting explosives on the radar tower, sentry towers, and at one point he was in a spot that he planted a bomb ON THE BACKPACK of a security guard. All without being spotted, then escaped and turned back to watch the whole place go up.
Old books. Talk to old people. Good ways to gain some perspective.
