Choosing my birthdate

Actually, I was going to say something really similar to Mf’s comment. 🙂 People lived more naturally in the past, which I think has much more of a positive effect on mental and physical health than people tend to think. Like Optimus said though, there are pros and cons to any time period. There were so many young and sudden deaths in the past, but even so, I think people might have been happier. And there are a *lot* of deaths and illnesses caused by modern ways of living too (e.g. the stress, depression, diets etc that come with it) which can be reversed just be living at a slower pace, eating real food and water, spending less time alone or indoors and so on. I think we overestimate the positive effects that the modern world has on society. I think most people will disagree, but that’s how I tend to see it.
