In the past there have been problems that would run right through a generation. Sometimes it was a plague, an illness that brought a generation to it’s knees like polio. In other times, famine or wars that pulled families apart and sent towns or whole regions into exile.
These times were marked and remembered and from them we learned. The plagues of the middle ages were brought on largely because of a complete lack of hygiene. Eventually, the customs changed and bathing is now the norm. Cures or preventions were discovered for illnesses and some of them, small pox, for example, have faded into history. We learned, and the learning is what made the difference. Mankind rose above the ignorance and gained another step away from barbarism.
