Depends on whether modern society views the wine glass as half full or half empty.

There  will always be curmudgeons wailing at the down fall of this or that.

But there will also be as many optimistic people trying to convince them otherwise.

Answer 4

Hannibal non est ante portas, sed superavit illas.

Humana natura sic est et sic erat in omnia tempora.

Quod ab initio vitiosum est, non potest tractu termporis convalescere.

Non est culpa timoris Hannibalis.
