There's a tendency of most of us to live in the past. We were all
tougher than our predecessors and no one since has had the challenges
that we faced.

I was recently told the same thing about the education system in
China--by a graduate student who is all of 23 years old!

My father of course told me the same. Evidently the world has been in
a free-fall for a very long time.
