I live in a different place in world, but objectively everything is getting better by the day.

- There is visibly less crime, statistically at an all time low record every year.

- Drug politics are getting way better, leading to way less drug criminality

- People drive smaller, more economical cars. Less noise, less polition

- You can find polished software for a small monthly fee for nearly any use case that works on your Phone, Linux, Mac or Windows. Only few years ago most good software was expensive and platform exclusive. Also mostly big coorperate where some software companies today are one person or a small team.

- We finally started talking about our environment in a serious future thinking matter. We don't yet act like it so often, but we are getting there.

- Crypto made 'normal' people rich, crypto changed to live of so many people. Not all about crypto was bad, not all is a Ponzi or Scam. Plus we finally have a low fee world wide money transaction method, which means so much freedom for a lot of people that are used to heavy restrictions.

- I think it never was easier to do your own thing and life from that. Whatever you do, if you are passionate enough it could be your job.

- The subscription and microtransaction trend is a huge pain in the ass and hopefully will die one way or another.

My point is, or should be it's all about the perspective and a lot about choice.

If you don't like loud cars, criminal & busy neighbours why don't you move somewhere that better fits your lifestyle? What makes you living a life you don't fully enjoy?
