Comments by "c. j. macq" (@cjmacq-vg8um) on "The Tragic Life of Rudyard Kipling" video.

from what i can tell, from kipling's defintion, there's very few "men" around today. being a "grown-up" used to mean leaving childish ways behind. but the world's been taken over by the most immature, childish, gullible, irresponsible, petty and delusional "adults" human history has ever recorded. many of our contemporary problems can be attributed to the fact that most people NEVER grow-up anymore. i had a book of short stories that included kipling's immortal "the man who would be king." i'd already seen the 70's huston directed film startring michael caine and sean connery and love it. so, the short story was quite a treat. to me, the story is about the dangers of imperialism. i'm surprised to hear he was a supporter of european imperialism. i recemmend to those who don't like to read to read short stories. they contain many different themes and are a much easier read.
