Jousting is Weird

Don't you find it strange how people would joust in the medieval times? Literally , knights risked their lives in such an unsophisticated yet courageous manner in order to find some form of glory in an era that has been long forgotten.

I genuinely wonder what the worst injuries they incurred were. Was it really worth it in the end? Was there a princess they saved after winning? Was there a castle in their name? History teaches us that we are indeed such funny creatures. Irrational yet smart, we are destined for inevitable imperfection. Beautiful imperfection nonetheless.
