Most people have a romanticized view of history. If you really had to live 100+ years ago I don't think you would like it.
No indoor plumbing(toilets,hot water,showers,cold water),electricity,T.V.,telephones,cars...)The list goes on and on and on.
Personally, I'm happy living in this time. We are extremely lucky living in this time.

I have this thing with Asia and France. But it's a facsination with a time long ago, maybe before the 1500-1600's. Crazy. What was really weird is that I saw this dog a guy had once and thought that she was THE most perfect dog for me. I went home and looked up the breed, and that day I located a breeder and bought a dog for $1,200. It ends up that even though the Papillon originated in Spain, it was a well known companion to French royalty. (The money that I bought my dog with was meant for a study abroad course in Paris that Spring, which I obviously never ended up going to). Things that I am naturally drawn to, furniture, style, era's, beliefs, always end up being of either Asian or French influence. I never connected it all together or realized it until a year or 2 ago.

Yes. I should have been in Europe the 1700s, when they cared about art, literature, music, etc. Those things are really undervalued in our society; think of your entire family and I bet you can find one person who hasn't read a book in the last month. Our society, while growing in some ways, has lost some very important things, and I think I spawn from a different time period, where different things were important.

I don't think this means I was necessarily meant for that century, but perhaps that I had a previous lifetime then. I have a fascination for several times and places and have even had dreams of living in them. Feudal Japan, 15th Century Europe and WWII Germany are a few.

YES! A time when Nobles were noble, and honor and respect meant something. Both are useless to have these days. Honesty and truth are just words being spit across a crowded room. Give me a horse, and sword and a shining suit of armor, and let's have at it, eh!

Always. Give the time before machinery. In a time when a man's was enough.

It's odd that you should say that. I've had this thing for the old west and true freedom!
