Those were the near end of the 'good' times, not the weak men.
The weak men caused WW2, the hard times.
The strong men came home from the war, created good times and the good times created boomers.

Precisely. The idea is that the "strong men" of WW1 made the good times (Roaring 20s), which made a lackadaisical mainstream culture that resulted in The Great Depression (bad times). In turn, The Great Depression called for men to be stronger and create the boomer generation. You got the memo, I appreciate you

For the general thought of selfishness, I hope if I had more I would give. Unfortunately as the state of things are I just need enough money to pull my rotten wisdom teeth and I think many share a similar feeling.
The worlds getting better every day and it's IMO fairly pessimistic to think otherwise. We're literally sitting atop the '(actually) golden' tool of peace, unadulterated beautiful human connection undivided fairly unhindered communication that spans across all languages and the globe as a whole. Never before has anything like this happened, this is 10,000 years in the making. Isn't this the start of literally everything Humans have been working for?
It kind of blows my mind and I think it's very beautiful.

seems we as humans are both blessed and cursed at the same time. we age, we hunger, we tire, etc. these things could be seen as a curse or a blessing in disguise. experiencing life itself is indeed a very beautiful thing, provided you weren't born into slavery or some stuff - but even then people still manage to find joy in the little things in life, like humming a familiar tune or watching the sun set. "the world is getting better every day" is questionable however - from a basic standpoint looking at modern technology and human rights yes we have come a long way from our barbaric past, but we also have people addicted to way more drugs and forgeted up things than ever before - once beautiful cities now covered in graffiti and trash rampant with rodents and disease. I want to be optimistic so while I do agree the world is getting better everyday in many aspects, there is always room for improvement
