What do you think about the claims that life was better in the past?

It seems to me that every generation thinks that life was better in what they call their own time than in present.

I disagree. Life is what it is and we either enjoy it or not... It's our choice!

I am almost sixty years old. I can tell you, many things are better now. Big, flat screen (color) TVs, cell phones, microwave ovens, the Internet, online banking and bill paying, computers, cars with air conditioning... The list goes on and on. I had a great time growing up, but it wasn't the world at that time that made it great. It was youth. I prefer the world of today.

We do have some serious problems now that we didn't way-back-when, but we are working on solutions too.

I know we can overcome these issues and my great-grandchildren will tell stories of how it was better way back when. LOL!
