Greetings, everyone!
Well, no era is greater or better than another. Each comes with its beauty and was a blessing to each individual who lived by it. They enjoyed the moment, time, and season. All comes with different lifestyles of people. In those days things were very cheap, and people lived in love with their families and others outside. They weren't divorced as it is today in our present era. People were in one accord thinking about themselves and others. They weren't killing people and sort of that. So you see that there is beauty in the old era, and they encountered issue after issue, and they endured with it, and they embraced it because that was what happened during their era.

By then, children were so open and obedient to their parents and to the teachers in school. No student had the effrontery to challenge his or her teacher in the classroom. They correct them and they accept them. I could recall those days when beaten by our teachers without our parents coming over to school to fight the teachers. That era was the best era for them. You can quantify the good times they had together, the differences they had. Life was easy according to their standard of living.
Goods were sold at the lowest price, and I had seen it. The biscuits they are selling at #5, are now #200.
You see their way of living and every involvement in that era was beautiful and acceptable even without technology and smartphones.
Folk music, story and plays were displayed. People's culture was intact. Local delicacies were intact and a lot more.
However, in our present era, we have seen that some things practiced in the past era have gone extinct. Prices have skyrocketed, and the culture of people is not maintained, people are not loving or in unity any longer. Now, we have access to smartphones, AI, and development in technology, and the skills too to make life comfortable for people who want a simple life.
According to this contest question:
Are we living in the best era?
My response is no. I earlier said, No era is better than another. Every era comes with its beauty and differences. So I can't place one era over another. So I see each era as a seasonal change.
With our advances in technology, we still experience good and bad times. We still have good and evil reports.
I'm happy to be in this era?
I was happy in that era, and I am happy in this era. As long as I have breath and God with me, I will still be happy forever.
Therefore, every era has its story, and every story has its beauty. So, in any era we find ourselves, we should embrace and enjoy the season. It's a blessing and not a curse. We enjoy it while it lasts.
