No matter which field we consider, whether it is sports, showbiz, or in any daily life profession and relationship, you would always hear this. IT is true to a certain extent, but do you think that development in technology and resources have lessen the efforts one has to make in life. How about the rising competition in present age?!
I have heard such views even in terms of practicing one’s religion.

p.s. Do you also at times say this to your younger ones ?

how is it true to any extent? Maybe the advancement of technology? well it has rather made a slave of us. And lethargic too. aint we less energetic, less healthy, lagging behind in every aspect than our previous generations? this is because they were not this much enslaved by this technology curse. Can we deal with a single house hold chore if power fails? were they that dependent too?

On the other hand, every next generation is suffering higher from mental diseases and illnesses i.e frustrations and all that. Previous generations were the generations of physicality and we are right opposite. Our brains worked wonder but SUCKS at the same time too. And what blessing is this rising competition idea? only to take away the remnant of our leisure and peace of mind. doh.

And how does even relate with our religious practices? our time being better than the previous one’s? doesnt make any sense to me.

Never would I brag this to my younger ones. I would say that to my elder ones because I envy them, but im rather worried and watchful about my younger ones, and wish them Allah’s bliss and protection. such a perdition we are heading towards.
