Any chance of reversing time and going back to the cusp of the season of warm salty-aired days?

These lines caught me from the Prologue of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey #Chaucer , describing a Prioress:
And Frenssh she spak ful faire and fetisly,For those struggling with the Middle English:
After the scole of Stratford atte Bowe,
For Frenssh of Parys was to hire unknowe
She spoke French very well and elegantly,It just made me think that languages that are spoken widely, like Latin & Greek in the Ancient world, French in the Middle Ages, or English now, develop local dialects that might have very little connection to the "core".
After the style of Stratford-at-Bow,
For the French of Paris was unknown to her
And so English as spoken in India, or Africa, or Latin America are valid forms of English, and have their own vibrant lives, and contributions to make to the wider language.

Whatever happened to "life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness" here in the U.S.?
Restrictions to those pursuits seem to be the norm if one doesn't agree with someone else's definition of those pursuits. It's long past time to get over that and let people just be, *particularly* in how they live their private lives.
Yes, this has been a problem throughout our history but we were making *some* progress when I was younger. Now, not so much.
#MondayMusing Does anyone put cinnamon in their morning #coffee? I just started to this weekend. Not sure why it took me decades to try this. It’s quite good!
