Humans are inherently destructive; it's built into our nature. It’s just the cycle of life—that natural equilibrium where one thing's decline allows another's rise.
But every shift brings change, and you could argue we've "progressed" simply because we've managed to make life easier (hardly anyone dies at 40 anymore) and longer, which remains the fundamental objective of any living creature: survival.
🙂That's why progress matters. Nature will inevitably throw obstacles our way that we have to overcome just to stay alive; anything less than striving forward would be just as much of a disruption to the balance of life.

I think the old code of conduct has faded away, much like the ancient Greeks. It’s like a language—it evolves; it isn't some fixed constant. The way people carry themselves today doesn't show nearly as much respect for others as it did sixty years ago. Then again, what we saw sixty years ago is nothing compared to the standards of Antiquity, and it's lightyears better than the Middle Ages, when people just burned everything down without a second thought for human life or property.
The current stage is just where we are, and eventually, things will swing back the other way—for better or worse.
That's why you just have to accept the present reality; those "good old days" are nothing more than memories for the people who actually lived through them.🙂
