If you think about how things were in the past, you can't help feeling extremely amazed at how everything has changed. Technology has transformed the world we live in as well as the actual way we live our lives. Means of communication, of transportation, electrical appliances, entertainment, special effects, digital ... whatever: all this has revolutionized mankind's existence. Only on a physical/material level, though. On an emotional/spiritual plane not much seems to have changed. Greed, yearning for power, selfishness, aggressiveness are all still here (maybe even more than before, thanks to the many abundantly provided stimuli). So? How thankful should we be for this kind of progress? Life is certainly easier. But... are we happier?
