Let's start with the fact that people have established more or less peaceful relations with each other, wars are no longer breaking out, and countries are helping each other. Although things aren't perfect yet, it's still better than in the past.
Secondly, humanity has acquired one of the most important things in the world – knowledge. We have become more careful about nature and are trying to heal the wounds we have inflicted upon it.
Thirdly, we have more comfortable living conditions, with all sorts of vacuum cleaners and refrigerators appearing, and it has become easier for people to communicate – through e-mail, ICQ, or even telephones.
So back off your rules,
Back off your jive!
Cause I'm sick of not living,
To stay alive,
Leave me alone!
I'm not asking a lot -
I just don't want to be controlled,
That's all I want.
All I want!(с)The Offspring
