If you could be magically transported to the time of Jesus...

...would you do it?



Before you answer, consider the practical consequences.



The transport is handled, but nothing else. You're a child of the 20th century. You find yourself, very suddenly and without the opportunity to prepare, in an unfamiliar environment. How do you cope?



There's no indoor plumbing*, no anesthetic, no basic human rights. You don't speak or write the language (Aramaic or Latin). You don't look like the natives, have nothing of value and don't have any friends or family who are likely to help you. The climate is probably unfamiliar as is the food, customs and culture in general.



Is it worth it? You get to witness one of the most significant periods of history, but what then? You don't get to come back (the transport is only one way), so what do you do with that knowledge? Would it be enough just to have been there? Would you give up your life here just for that chance?



As much as I would like to see it, I don't know that I would, but maybe that's just me.



What about you?




* Not for you, anyway -- you're not an aristocrat -- you're an outsider -- a time traveler with basically no resources and no standing in the community.
