There are many points in time that can be referred to as eras, such as the Byzantine era, the Regency era, or even Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. I personally did not have the privilege of experiencing any of these three eras in person. However, I do have the privilege of bringing you this edition of Universal Magazine: Eras, which has been carefully curated to take your through the ages, or eras if you will.
Perhaps these pieces will leave you pondering the possibilities of the future, or even give you a newfound appreciation for life in the modern era. You might also be left bitter, or intrigued, upon learning what life might’ve been like had you been born a few hundred years earlier.
Though some eras are more cheerful than others, I think it’s important to look back upon the eras of the past to ensure their triumphs are carried into the future, and their mistakes are learned from and left behind. I wonder what this next era will hold for us all. Let’s hope it’s something amazing.
