I feel that our current generation is generally lost. There is a lot of lost knowledge and wisdom we can learn from our old ancestors. I think it is partly due to the changes in the social system and technology that changes our generation to way of life and way of thinking, where although there are gain, there are loses.
I don't know exactly what our generation have lost? Maybe it's trust that is built through loyality and being non-promiscuous that set a stable happy home? Maybe it was appreciation the mild and little things in life (since life wasn't too luxurious) that makes one more content and happy? Maybe there weren't communication technology to replace the real interaction between humans which makes real interaction more to cherish? Maybe back then people weren't bombarded with too many knowledge (including corrupted ones) that makes them more innocent and pure minded? Maybe there were more sages or saints back then!? Who knows!?
In any case, we should investigate our ancestors way and see what we could learn from then. A quote I just heard:
"When a new one is born... the older disappear. That is the natural process. But we musn't forget the lost ones" ~ Mitsukoshi
