RE: Why are people depressed, anxious or suicidal?

in #ungrip7 years ago

What is the foundation for your assessment of 'we are getting better, and we might be living the best time for humanity'?

We have more knowledge and a better life than before. We have a higher understanding about our reality, our general knowledge is advancing constantly.

Even if it might be hard to realize, today we have less poverty than in the past and better health than in the past.

I would like to know what was the best time of humanity in your opinion? the indigenous peoples of the 1700's?

For me, it is clearly the present.

I see debt slavery, feudal serfs, greed and violence at every street corner

Was the past any different?

Some would think that I'm returning to the 1700's with the way we live

It is very funny to read that since we are having this conversation using technology that didn't exist until 2 years ago (Steem blockchain).
