If I would be happier in the past, it would be in a time and place more distant than that. Maybe a pre-Western contact aboriginal society, possibly in North America. I feel a little bit disingenuous saying that, because I don't know much about any of those different peoples beyond stereotypes about peace and respect and freedom.
I could go even further than that, to a theoretical society which existed before recorded history which had no authority or social hierarchy.
I'm with bugs, though. Even the best of past had a lot of rubbish. I'd be even happier living in a distant future which embodied the values of peace and love and anarchy, but had consciously adapted those values to reflect of the lessons of the past (including our own present).
Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong time period?.
