We are not the first society to be overstimulated and undisciplined. We are only the most recent.
From Plato's time to today, our personal and societal problems have stemmed from the same source: choosing entertainment over nourishment.
Past societies faced intense challenges. In many ways, more than we do. Even they struggled to choose nourishment over entertainment.
Now that modern technology, medicine, and luxuries have solved most of the big problems of the past, we struggle more than ever to fill our lives with what nourishes us rather than with empty entertainment.
Entertainment has its time and place, but nourishment is what builds us, strengthens us, and sustains us.
If you want more growth, strength, and longevity, trade some entertainment for nourishment.
Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
