What is the state of humanity?

[Troy Spiral (13)]

What is the state of the human condition?

That is the general aspects of existence of human beings, and how have they changed over time?

Starting from say the 1st century until now?

Are we getting better?

Are we getting worse?

Are we staying the same?

Why? By What criteria?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

they tell us that

we lost our tails

evolving up

from little snails

I say it's all

just wind in sails.

Can't speak for the rest of the world but for me personally things have gotten better overall over my lifetime.

Organic food - yummy. Fast food has gotten yukky though. As I recall when I was a kid it used to taste like actual food.

Lifespans are longer and most people look younger and feel healthier longer.

Meds available now to treat my migraines that were not in existence years ago - I'd literally rather shoot myself in the head than to go back to that constant pain.

Technology is awesome and getting moreso all the time.

Good old days - naaah. I'll take my present day life rather than longing for the past.

What about that "we are all godless heathens going to hell these days" , you know from a moral standpoint?

Seems to me it's pretty much the same but things used to be more hidden and swept under the rug. Now it's all out in the open and blasted in our faces 24/7 through the media.

I think that means "things are the same as ever from a "morality/ethics" standpoint, the only difference is that we are "aware" of (the negative?) side now more than we were in the past?
