Greetings!
One thing about the life we are in is that there's time and season for everything under the planet earth, according to the Holy Bible. So do we have different eras. Our ancestors and forefathers have lived their own eras, and now, we are also living in our own eras as well and to me, no era is above another.
This reason for my last statement is that, if we ask our forefathers or ancestors about their own era, I believe they would have something good and nice to say about their era, like we the younger ones too. There's no way we would say good things about our time, especially with the advent of technology in this current dispensation.
Having said so much about time and season, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about, “The best era.”
To me and like I have said earlier, all the eras that might have come before now are good. The eras before now are just as good as what we have now and this is because every era has its own peculiarities which might be good or bad, it all depends. So, for this singular reason, I would not place an era over another.
In the past era, we were being told by those that lived in the era that the past era was the best as there was this kind of love, unity and relative peace among those who lived in the era. There's nothing like corruption or kidnapping as such in the era. Also , we were told that the prices of things are not as high as we are now, as inflation has not taken over our land.
Furthermore, we were told that the kind of leaders we had were the God fearing type that had the fear of God in them. Things then made the time to be the best of an era to those who lived in it.
However, to those who lived in the past by themselves, they now see this current time as not the best as the one they had once lived in, but as for us that are now living in the current dispensation without having the knowledge of the past, we now see the past as not lively era where everything and everyone there was boring just because there's nothing like technology.
Looking at the two critically together, we would realise that none of these eras is better as the current dispensation is full of corruption, chaos and other social vices.
Some to me, all the eras are good, but even though, I would rather go with this current time as my best era. This is because of the technological advancement in this current time. However, this is not to say that the past era is not good or the best.
This is my entry to the week 217, episode 02 of the weekly featured contest in the Hive Learners community.
