We were raised to think that people for hundreds and even thousands of years were fools who didn’t understand, or couldn’t even comprehend, their moral failings. Once you start to wake up, you realize most of this moral superiority we are force fed in this modern time is just the son ignoring all the learned wisdom of his father because he no longer has to deal with the harsh realities of life.
We are insulated from the cold, the struggle for survival, the brutality of the natural world to such a degree that we are afforded the privilege to plug our ears and shut our eyes to truths that our ancestors needed to live. We can think we are morally superior for all these superficial and relativistic reasons, but some day soon reality will catch up with us like the ground to a falling man who thinks he can fly.
