All the problems that disturb us today—the cutting down of forests and the erosion of the soil; the emancipation of woman and the limitation of the family; the conservatism of the established, and the experimentalism of the unplaced, in morals, music, and government; the corruptions of politics and the perversions of conduct; the conflict of religion and science, and the weakening of the supernatural supports of morality; the war of the classes, the nations, and the continents; the revolutions of the poor against the economically powerful rich, and of the rich against the politically powerful poor; the struggle between democracy and dictatorship, between individualism and communism, between the East and the West—all these agitated, as if for our instruction, the brilliant and turbulent life of ancient Hellas. There is nothing in Greek civilization that does not illuminate our own.
The above is quoted from The Story of Civilization, Volume II, The Life of Greece, published in 1939 by Will Durant. I emphasized the last line.
What has changed in 2025?
Perhaps more importantly, what do we want to be different? What are we going to do about it?
…consider how in spite of centuries of sin and greed and lust and cruelty and hatred and avarice and oppression and injustice, spawned and bred by the free wills of men, the human race can still recover, each time, and can still produce men and women who overcome evil with good, hatred with love, greed with charity, lust and cruelty with sanctity.
THOMAS MERTON, The Seven Story Mountain

Nothing will change in this world until there's a change of heart for everyone concerned which is all of us.
When I despair,
I remember that all through history
The ways of truth and love have always won,
There has been tyrants, and murderers,
And for a time they can seem invincible,
But in the end they always fall.
Think of it … always
- Mahatma Gandhi
