Born in the wrong time period.

I'm posting this here cause, well it's not religious and not philosophy so I take my chances with the ____ here.......

OK, I know that many people feel that they feel quite different living with in this. They feel they should of been better equipped to live earlier or even later in time. I felt this was interesting and asked why. My question, do you feel that you might have been better suited or make some sort of difference to live in a different century than now an if so why? What makes you think that you could of done better there as you do now.............places like ancient Egypt, Sumerian, Wild west, Victorian, Civil war, Normandy, Inquisitions, Biblical, WWI or WWII, Vietnam Other cultures. Shakespearean times, Nomadic. Explorers, Conquerors..ie Alexander the Great, Phoenicians,

Has anyone ever thought the greater they could of done if they lived at a different time period..And if so, what would you have done different, not just military, but in daily life to make a difference.......

Say what you think your passion and work would of been if not in this century..

What difference could you have made.

Given the basis for our modern calenders, from ancient Eygptian times to the redefining of the christian calender, we already live in a different time. We just don't realize it.

No no, I meant if you could chose then what perid of time would you feel more acceptable to you and your comfort zone.

Yeah, I get the question.

But to answer it, I'm not very comfortable with the here & now. So going backwards doesn't appeal to me.

And while on some level I think I could have been Alexander the Great, I wouldn't want to risk having to drink dirty water or not have deodorant. So I'll stick with this time period.

I would have liked to live in the mid to late 1800's, early to mid 1900's and perhaps 100 - 150 years from now.

I only want to live in a time period where I can wear big poofy pretty dresses and all day and all the men are chivalrous.

I would love to live in times when your worth as a person didn't depend on how much you earn but on your character and dignity. i want to live in times when a person were free to work as whatever they wanted. i want life to simple and not a rat race, where bankbalance, appearance and facades make respect, personality and dignity take a back seat.

also, debbie you'r easking what difference could we have made. but no matter what time or age it was, it always has been the rich and those in influence who have altered the course of history and people. even when regular masses moved, like in the French Revolution for example, even then they were being led by a certain person or people. unless there isn't someone to lead regular people will always remain waiting for that certain someone who would lead them and be their messiah or savior.

I wish I was born right now so I could enjoy all this technology these future brats are going to get gift-wrapped in 14 years or so. Of course if I were born now I wouldn't mind it one bit because I wouldn't know any better because my ADHD mind would be too occupied by the silver platter shoved up my ass.

I wish I could either live in:

Ancient Greece where homoness was not only totally acceptable, but the norm....that would have been fun....

OR

During the 60's, U.S.A. so I could have experienced flower power, wild free orgies, and eventually Studio 54

No, Urizen, I think you should have gone back to the Gay 20's and tried to tell them the true meaning behind the name, and that they have it all wrong.

Edit: I don't think there actually was a Gay 20's, but who cares.

I should be in the Future.

I would've liked to have "come of age" in the 1960s. I don't / never did / never will identify with rampant cosumerism.

Either that, or be born 10,000 years from now.

I simply believe in simultaneous incarnation. What that means to me is that all my past lives and future lives are happening now. That is because time is an illusion, and all that exists is now. This is just my belief, and I cannot prove it, however, it brings up the possibility that we are all living in the past present and future.

It's a joke from the simpsons.

Someone speaks about something very philosophical and dimensional etc and Homer just pauses and goes '....Cosmic'

I think that here and now is one of the most exciting times to be alive.

I personally feel that many things will happen in my lifetime that will change the destiny of our world.

As for the past, I guess the 50's when things were supposed to be easier and people more friendly to their neighbors and stuff, although discrimination against minorities and women kinda sours it. 😬

I would say then that it would be to live in Israel during the 3 years of Christ's ministry.

I wouldn't want to live there and spend my whole life in those times, but to see him and his sermons and miracles would be unbelievable.

As it is now, I've seen some healings and prophecy. In fact, 4 weeks ago at a youth Encounter event we had 400 young people and on the last night about a hundred of them were baptized by the Holy Spirit at once and were speaking in tongues. One kid was healed of asthma on the spot and another of diabetes. 😱

However, to see Jesus Himself heal the blind, the lepers, cast out demons, walk on water, feed 5,000 with loaves of bread and fish, and raise Lazarus from the dead.......

would go beyond anything I've seen here on earth.
