we are an anachronism everyday
fiction
edward w pritchard
I recently did some intensive reading and writing on the American civil war, over one hundred books which I bought and underlined up, starred and asterisked in a scholarly way completely; and I have decided after historical and philosophical thought and judgment that we all are an anachronism everyday no matter when in history or location we find ourselves living, breathing and thinking.
As example Robert E. Lee receives much criticism for loyalty to a cause condoning slavery and slavery's accouterments by current members of American society.
Likewise could a future strong pacifist curse northern civil war soldiers and General Grant for slaughtering men and horses whatever the cause or reasons.
We, you and I undoubtedly have beliefs and habits that some future citizens will find appalling and barbaric. Perhaps such as our actions towards the handicapped persons of the world.
Basic human rights. Walk with your head bowed we have much to think about.
