William Pitt the younger once said "We owe our present happiness and prosperity...?

Question

...which has never been equalled in the annals of mankind, to a mixture of monarchical government".

Do you think that the present day is always the best of all possible worlds?

Answer 1

We have to appreciate what we have today and work towards a better tomorrow.  

Answer 2

Men and women have given their lives for the betterment of mankind.

To say that the present day is the best of all possible worlds is incorrect.

It is the best we have available but each generation has the potential to make it an even better world.

As long as we continue to expand our potential our world will continue to improve for the betterment of all mankind.

When you think of how the world as a whole responds and how quickly they respond to a natural disaster a world away, you can see that we will only get better and quicker when a country or populace is in trouble!
