Through the ages many of us have believed our world is becoming more humanized because of our technical achievements. We believed that our efforts to make the world a better place paid off.

Yet horrors march onward showing us that millennia of progress have not made us any kinder. The world is no better and suffering has not diminished.

In short, nothing has changed.

Still, life is not a zero sum game. If we make anything better even in the short run or for a single individual, we brighten the world and uplift ourselves.
