Where Are We Better Than 50 Years Ago?

We have more disposable income; more comfortable dwellings; better medical care; more choice; better communication; many better systems and technology has been frankly, magnificent.
So why do I mourn the past so much?
People are more empty today. They are shallow and do not even recognise the fact. People have lost their faith and replaced it with 'idols' whilst having little concept of righteousness.

Throughout it all - I cannot help but think that with a combination of old and new in the right balance, the UK would have been a truly joyful place to live in.
I recently spoke to a group of school leavers and said; "Life is not just about body and mind. If that is what you think - you've missed it! Life is about body, mind and spirit." If only that applied to our whole population!
