My line of thought was from a single persona who articulates an honest reflection of their view at the time. It won't matter if the opinion is right or wrong if social mores change, even if i changed with them, it's a reflection of who I was at that moment. But who we are changes moment to moment, day to day and year to year. What I am trying to get at is people, perhaps my great grandchildren or people I never meet and interact with will come across something I have written and never updated, or forgotten about entirely and then gone on about my day. Those people will need a tool to place that into a larger context or they will misunderstand how I got to the place I ended up. And I just want to be clearly understood, now and a hundred years from now.
What if social mores have drastically changed since that time and I have changed too? What if I am dead and gone, how do I let them know that as I evolved as a person going through life, my beliefs and my opinions have changed.
The tool that would let me do that is a tool I would love to have. Social networks do not have good tools for this yet.
