LIFE TODAY IS BETTER THAN THE PAST?

today man has progressed wonderfully during the last one century. things which looked impossible to our forefathers are very common nowadays.we are able to perform a journey of thousands of miles in a few hours comfortably.we are able to speak to a friend on the other corner of the globe. thanks to the invention of television,we are able to see the speakers,we can watch a movies or news. electricity is our ever-ready maid servant we press a button and it does 100+ things for us. medical science has provided wonderful remedies for our diseases. modern surgery has reduced pain of an operation. the huge factories are turning out articles in millions for the use of common man  when we listen about all these advantages we have to sat that life is more comfortable for us. but no there is another side of the picture as well.
today we see that man is not happy,in spit of so much progress. we have so many factories,but still we have poverty and the problem of food and clothing is becoming acute day by day. scientific advancement has provided immense comfort to the rich,but nothing for the poor.
our mechanical civilization,it is valued by the laws of the machines,not by moral or spiritual laws. man has been  changed into a tool,into a pieces of machine. no one is happy today whether a millionaire or a laborer. the peace of mind enjoyed by our forefathers is gone forever.
the high cost of living,the price controls and their failures all made lives miserable,dishonesty,selfishness and greed prevails everywhere. medicines have been invented to cure us but bombs are there to kill us in millions so on the whole it is right to say that "life is not better than  it was in the past".
