Past generations faced immense hardship, with high child mortality and limited medical advancements, making their lives incomparably difficult compared to today. If these ancestors witnessed a modern grocery store or pharmacy, they would be astounded by the abundance and medical marvels, likely perceiving us as spoiled. This sentiment often arises when older generations observe younger ones enjoying comforts they never had, leading to disappointment rather than pride. However, this apparent "spoiled" existence is often the very goal of the preceding generations' arduous efforts to improve their families' standing. The immigrant parents who toiled tirelessly, for example, aimed to create a life where their children could afford books instead of relying solely on libraries. Therefore, what seems like being spoiled is merely a byproduct of progress, and the bar for what constitutes hardship shifts with each generation. While one generation grappled with basic survival, subsequent ones worry about security, disease, education, and work-life balance, moving on to higher-order problems. This continuous progression, where each generation builds upon the last's achievements, allows future generations to face new challenges and enjoy unprecedented freedoms. We are all beneficiaries of this accumulated hard work, enabling us to tackle novel problems rather than just surviving.
