Same. Like with Nikola Tesla or H. P. Lovecraft, who died more or less impoverished and were nowhere as cherished in their lifetime as they are now, and many others like them who only received posthumous appreciated, it's like they were cheated by fate. It makes me angry at how the world treated people like them.


It's the same for many now-revered classical composers. I think sometimes the world is just not ready to receive and understand true genius. Their creativity takes decades to truly appreciate.
