But I happened to read this one and found it amazing. It revealed much about me. I discovered reading this that I increasingly take life as it is. There's no need for drama. I'm OK without it. There appear to have been long stretches of time as hunter gatherers in which things didn't change much at all, that a new discovery happened once every hundred thousand years. But a couple thousand years ago things sped up and they are speeding up more and more. How on Earth can someone believe he is so special that he is in a millenia time, an end of the Old Days and the beginning of the New Age? That wasn't so every single year over the last couple thousand years? Why is it that we, and we alone are so special to be living in a time in which life and outlooks are changing? Have life and outlooks not been ever changing? Seems like at a certain level of psychological development we need to believe that we're not just living in a changing world, we're living in the Golden Age, the Dawning of the Age of Enlightenment. Can't we just, perhaps be living, gathering more common knowledge and experience, with natural ebbs and flows just as the latest fashion has skirts long this year, shorter next year?
