Mindfulness Check-In August 16, 2023
Hello everyone in the Mindfulness community, how are you doing today? 💙
If you could live in another historical period, would you? If so, which one and why?
@amiablePeace77
I would not. There is nothing about the past that is better then now or the future. its all pretty much the same just different clothing.
@Gettingbettertoday
I get your point getting!
The past history of my life is not attractive to me. I guess historical past has all its problems so I am going to stay right here!
@soulsings
I hope there are many good moments and blessings for you in the now.
@amiablePeace77
I probably wouldn't live in another historical time period but it is interesting to see how each time period in history had an influence on what the world is today like inventors or the Greeks inventing the Olympics for instance.
@Harmony8682 yes and the polynesians perfected sailing by the stars across vast oceans and were able to inhabit distant islands.
@soulsings
Wow I didn't know that!
@Harmony8682 amazing isnt it. More on that here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesian_navigation
I think I'm happy living in this time period, but I'd like to be born just a decade or two before. 🤔 I'm 21 but really love late 80s nostalgia especially in music... So being able to experience that as a teen could be fun!!
@JarofSeeds627
There were some good things in the 80s for sure and songs too, "Madonna - Express Yourself". Do you have a favorite 80s song?
I'm more or less functioning, I have that going for me, lol!
As for a different historical era, I'm not certain...
Perhaps the Victorian era, where I'd be in an old-timey feminist salon conspirating against the patriarchy and writing books and poems.
Maybe the scientific revolution. My autobiography would tell of the amazing discoveries I drove my husband to make and the frustrations of having no means of conducting science for myself. Or perhaps I would and I would publish my theories under a male name.
@courteousCoconut2519 we need more people like you that are not easily discouraged.
