Fifty year old wealthy man resents twenty five year old middle class man, without recalling that 25 years back even he was a poor man.

Everyone thinks that the old days were better, or that they were harder, and the modern times are chaotic and complex, or easier all around, but I think people's hearts have always been the same, happy and sad, and that hasn't changed at all. It's just the shapes of lives that change, not the lives themselves.

Sometimes people think the old days were better than today. Even though life was simpler and slower, it was not necessarily easier.
