And it seems to this day there is a threshold to ensure the level of comfort is not being compromised.<\/p>\n<p>One thing being promoted by news media is that our current system is the best and that quality of life has never been better. And in a sense I do agree that the world today is the world we deserve in terms of it being a result of the accomplishments and failures of all our ancestors. Imagine how many mistakes those who came before you must have made. And our mere existence probably being their biggest success stories.
