Also I hope people would try to help their neighbors unlike Mr. Pepys who upon hearing about the fire, went back to sleep as if nothing had happened. Pepys also showed us how they treated their women during this era. Pepys would be juggling multiple mistresses while having a wife. People in their time married only for political reason and did not believe in a thing called love

I like to read Pepy's diary because it makes me feel good about the progress we have made as a civilization as a whole. Also I was not a fan of how they beat children on occasion.
Also in my month he seemed pretty professional. He was always going out to eat ( rarely did he eat at home) or to the tavern to presumably discuss things of business nature. He seemed like a very driven indivual and I respect him for that. What I don't respect in my month is that he beats a child for an unknown reason.
