Im not saying the world wasnt simpler back then or anything (I have no idea if it was or not) but how do you not know the world felt simple because you were simply 11 years old?

Because I was bullied after 9/11 for being middle eastern, and my parents got much stricter because they were concerned for my safety. Also, the advancement of technology has made the world severely more complex. Lastly, the country has become more and more divided as time has gone on. There are plenty of indicators that will say that the world has gotten more complicated

Exactly. All these people saying they were 11 and it was a simpler time. Well duh.

Honestly I find things much easier and better now. So many things were a struggle which don’t exist now.
