Thinking about the privileges we enjoyed now, comparing it to what our forefathers had, it hard to say we really had it better.
Look at today's society, the hardships and hunger rampaging the every sector of the society, does that sound like we have it all.
Development is meant to make lives easier but it seems man kind is being driven to extinction by the same development we crave.
Our forefathers had limited resources but their life expectancy is more higher than ours, disease such has cancer and other illness exist but at low rates because our forefathers don't consumed plastic or fermented goods.
Who really had it better is a matter which angle you are viewing the world from.
Thanks for sharing.
Hehehe, I still believe we have it better because we have freedom my friend, we are not scared that we will be taken for slavery at any time, we are not worried of how we are going to visit people who live very far away or even call them and give them very vital information, I'm not scared that my dad has given me out to one old man or even a young boy to marry, not at all.
Yes we are using our developments to cause harm to ourselves but that is a choice, it's not as if anyone is forcing it on us, we are the ones that made these choices for ourselves and we will have to reap the consequences too.
Well, you might still say our fathers had it more or chose to be at the middle but me I know and I believe we have it more. Thank you so much for your contribution friend. So sorry for the late replies, I've been busy with offline engagements.
Ok, this another angle to it. Majority of the early marriage are as a result of illiteracy. They do not know any better. But then at the same time, our ladies at that time they have sense of decency, compared to the kind of waywardness and lack of morals & ethics among our young ladies in this present.
Civilisation has made life easier by enlightening populace of the world, that is true but in the same thread same enlightenment has brought about decay in our values, morals and sense of decency.
There has never been a time when indecency was never a problem, but then it was more disgraceful to be in that category then but now it is not. Well for me the problem boils down to parenting because a child will never do something that he or she didn't learn. And that is why I said we are more lucky because we have heard these things, we know these things that are going wrong with this generation so it's left for us to find a lasting solution to it by doing what we should do.
