How many of you really believe you're living in the wrong century?

Question

I'd like to hear from people who's actual lifestyles reflect this
conundrum. How do you repel modern life and what kind
of soul connections do you have to the past? Is your home
life full of modern conveniences or do you go out of your
way to self initiate when it comes to simplifying? I'm curious
about old fashioned life styles...if you live without media or
if you chop wood for your heat..that kind of thing. Thanks.

Answer 1

It is very good to think of these things. Although our society today takes advantage of high technology, some day it will come to an end. Will the human race survive? Not a chance. People today rely to heavily on electric, gas, fuel, preservatives and the list goes on. I for one stay close to home and try not to over exceed my needs. Not because I will live to see the day the earth stands still, but because my grandchildren may. Waste not want not... Is a good saying. Society is going through natural resources so fast it is incredible. Not only are they ruining the earth, they kill each other over the resources.. I try my best to save and use things for more than one purpose. Good luck in the future... I wish you all the luck you will need it and if you don't your children will...My cat blue says he wont be around for it either and he is not planning on kittens at this time...Giggling..Blue and I think we came from the past and that we were both Egyptians. He is such a good cat. Only he was human and I was the cat...(hm-mm that is interesting).

Answer 2

No no longer likely. i think life is as complicated in any era. it rather is the character of concern that adjustments. different generations had to stand war, some had to stand poverty, at present we've unemployment, day after today we'd be threaten with planet extinction (wow that beneficial sounds beneficial lol!)...(To make amends) we are able to continuously look for love and creativity and happiness yet with a distinctive way. The human concern is almost a similar. and then some issues have a tendency to be provided in novels ameliorated. i like the fewer stressful rhythms of life of the nineteenth century yet i does no longer prefer to marry at sixteen and function like 7 little ones and then die at 40. inspite of the very shown fact that if I were born in that era in all probability i does no longer whinge because of the fact i'd get used to stay like all of us else and could no longer tell the adaptation or if I were asked with regard to the well-known era i'd have theory that no longer stand the noise in residing in a huge city. besides i do no longer remember anybody asking me earlier delivery to % my century so as this is and we ought to earnings from it :).

Answer 3

I depend a great deal on modern conveniences, but I'm working on changing that. But I can't do it all at once.

Right now I have ten acres of woodland. I have a pig and a fruit & vegetable garden. I'm looking into getting another pig (for breeding) and some chickens. I'm also thinking about building a fish pond.

Answer 4

Well, I don't believe it, but it's fun to think I was born 100 years too late, and enjoy all the music, styles, architecture, and technology of my grandpa's day. I sometimes wonder if his spirit in Heaven isn't prompting my vicarious reminiscences? He was born in 1880, and that era up to 1910 fascinates me. I'll find out when I meet him...he died before I was born, and I'm 52. I love Victorian homes, steam locomotives and turn-of-the-last century band concerts with J.P. Sousa! Good question!

Answer 5

Hi AbFab. I switched off my cable, so, no TV but I couldn't do without my microwave or coffeemaker. Seems here and now is good for me. I would like to thank the feminist that came before me for making it easier to be a single female and living as independently as I do.

Answer 6

well, I'm not amish but I don't have cable or tv b/c I hate the whole "kids looking like robots on the couch w/their eyes fixated"...I will give in to internet though for research purposes at home..

other than that I pretty much shop for clothes therapeutically and get all the gadgets that can mask my unhappiness and serve medicinal purposes.

Answer 7

If I could live during any time period, I would choose to live in the Old Testament times. People back then lived a lot longer, and men had lots of different wifes.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Esther 4:14B And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"

Answer 10

Can I get frozen (like in futurama) and thawed out in 1000 years? That would be cool.
