health issues are also getting worse. Some of these things result from having it too easy in other ways. As has been mentioned in this thread, we have it good in that we don't have to spend as much time worrying about feeding ourselves and making sure we have shelter.

I'm not a doom and gloomer by any means. Life is pretty good and an awful lot is better than it ever has been. I'm not an "All is well in Zion" type either. We still have problems with slavery/human trafficking in the world. It simply isn't very visible where most of us live. We still have war and people starving in parts of the world (despite having plenty of food globally to feed everyone).
