Heh, I don’t know about wise, but a love of history changes one’s perspective. Going down through the ages, there are so many figures who are brilliant or virtuous who get absolutely screwed, and then mediocre twits who coast through with an endless streak of good luck.
Sometimes it really is just a roll of the dice.
At least Vercingetorix got some nice statues out of it in the 19th century,
