Choosing a time to be born

I would like to be born in the 1870s in the Philippines, the era when the Spanish became colonial here. I would like to meet Jose Rizal and live the way of live there no matter how painful it is before.

I dont want to change what I have right now. I am contented although I have some failures but I cope up with it. So if I will live another generation I might dont like it there for I would not meet my love of my life and my greatest gift of God.

I would choose early to mid 1800s in the US. I've always been fascinated by being able to provide for oneself and I think that having to would be a challenge that I'd like to try to meet. That was before industrialization made life miserable for factory workers, but it was also before a lot of medical advances, so home remedies were common and I'm not so sure but what some of the worked better than our modern medicine.

Well, although I'm contented with this era I'm living through, even with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I'm still curious how it was during the times when life was simple. No cars, gadgets and and all the stuff that, ironically, made our life easier.

I would love to live in the future. I'd love to see how the future goes.

I would love the 60's, I think people were nice. It's a preatty cool time.

I am happy with the era which I am living now. If I had an option then would have gone back to the mythological era wherein I would have seen all greeneries all around and nothing else. A pre - era history, so cool and so comfortable.

Hi. LeighB. I would have been chosen to be born in the early 60s instead of the 70s. I enjoyed seeing many things during this time period. The 80s and the 90s was considered to be very exciting to me.

I love history, and would like to have been around in the late 19th century, when Gatwick was still a racecourse and fields, with a windmill where the business parks are now. Otherwise, I'd have liked to have been born at the end ot the last world war, and grown up experiencing the 1950s instead of being born at the end of them. If not, just let me have this lifetime back again. I'd have divorced my parents at the age of 5 and accepted that Daily Telegraph journalism apprenticeship, for a start. Though the apprenticeship was at 16, not 5 ...

A pleasant day to you LeighB, With reference to your main topic, if I will be given a time to choose, I will still select the era when I was born. But with some modifications to my life status. That is to be more stable in terms of finances and security. However, since that thing will not happen, I will just do my very best to achieve the stability that I desire. And, of course, I will pray hard to do it with the help of our Lord Almighty.

I think I am happy to the day I was born. At least I was able to escape the terrors of war and things like it. I am also very satisfied because things are easier to do now. With the help of technology, life is a little more convenient today. But one thing that I think that I am most thankful of is the fact that I can still enjoy nature even with the influences of the modern society. I just cant imagine to live in a time where there will be no more trees and animals. I pity those who are yet to be born. I just wish they could still appreciate the world on its natural state. I am not sure of what the future would be. I am not certain if there will be progress or otherwise but it seems that thou not perfect, living today is pretty fine.

I believe we did choose to live in our bodies right now. I believe we are source energy that has the direct intention of living in this leading edge time. What better time than when knowledge is so easily transferred, and love so obviously recognized as the building block of anything worth a thought.

If I could choose anything it would be the Middle Ages! I love all things medieval!
