our ancestors were certainly living in a far better condition than ours.the socio-economic and political indicators were generally good.their environment was much cleaner than that of today.indeed,they were blessed with so many gifts that we cannot even imagine today.
no doubt poverty existed in their time as weel but the prices of basic commodities were very low.a sack of flour costed only a few paisas.the cost of living was cheap.no exorbitant rents, no inflation or inadvertant expenditures on electricity,cell phones and cars.
the social fabric of the society was well intact and thriving.the joint family system ensured that everyone will support each other.cupidity and materialism were words unknown to the people.peace and tranquility prevailed,and the terms of terrorism and target killings were unheard of.
the environment was clean and filled with fresh air.there was greenery everywhere.home cooked food,clean water and phsycial work kept them safe and healthy.there was no danger of ebola virus or bird flu.
unfortunately, we see that everyone today is busy in a rat race.greediness and competitiveness have engulfed the entire system.even a child has to face enormous pressure to fulfill the high expectations of his parents.lawlessness has confined people to their homes and social networking has been shrinked to a laptop screen.
to conclude,our elders led a healthy and care free lifestyle.a modern day man can only wish for those days.no doubt,our predecessors were luckier than us.
