If we zoom out of the mundane and take a bird’s eye view on life, it is simple. We are born, we grow, we reproduce, we take care of our young while gradually declining, and then we die of a long and terrible or short and not so terrible disease. The millions of years of evolution polished us to accept this paradigm, and the inability to change had made us very content with the situation. Advances in science and technology satisfied our basic needs and allowed for the new concepts for “pursuit of the greater good” and collective welfare to emerge and prevail.
