Nice essay! We live in a globalised village is possibly one way of reconciling being free now or saying in Daniel Kahneman words, ‘Thinking fast snd slow’, when compared with living in a village thousand years back . Mankind could have progressed over many issues over man generations which every man who thinks faces again and again, but he can’t go to the root of all the issues and find a solution, and he possibly is not encouraged by his possibly ignorant or wise society not that they want to make him stop from progressing, but also possibly could be from not becoming another Socrates questioning and trying to inspire his generation or society but failing in a way to live the personal life well and facing a questionable death; who will take care of his family ? The past history may not be as sweet as the present experiences and kindling may only bring out a recurrent unwanted phenomenon or experience; the individual soul could undergo the torture in its search but not the other souls associated that has helped it for a cause of living or has their own dreams .
