It can be tempting to think the world is getting worse and worse over time, but my personal experience in life has always given me pause in giving into such temptations. Of course, human beings have innate ability to take everything for granted and we are all very good at moving the goal posts almost constantly, but part of me thinks the 15-year old me would probably burst into tears with joy if he got to “see” how my life has turned out to be.
