Gaining perspective by inspecting arbitrary points in history can be quite useful.
- brailsafe 3y agoPerhaps emotionally or spiritually, which may be important, but I don't think enough to be practical. Those arbitrary points in history existed under their own constraints and opportunity or difficulty, and looking back further wouldn't necessarily have had much of an impact unless the future from that point looked quite promising.
- shepherdjerred 3y agoI can only speak from personal experience, but I have found it to be immensely valuable in: * Appreciating what I have today * Not fearing the future in regards to global warming, war, and other instability * Accepting that my life could turn completely upside down in an instant, e.g. due to economic instability, war, etc.
