We in the “developed” world have inherited an enormous treasure chest…
of labor-saving technologies and healing medicines, safe drinking water and grocery stores, smart phones and air conditioning, anesthesia, X-rays, and corrective lenses, automobiles, airplanes, and weather satellites, literacy, libraries, and free speech, to name but a few.
I would never refuse to enjoy or employ any of these conveniences, luxuries, and liberties…
… but at what cost? And to what end? I am compelled to ask.
Yet the good life we’ve inherited has turned into a bunch of soft and sensitive crybabies
Agreed, Jim. We have so much freedom, ease, comfort, and safety that we don’t know what to do with it.
