The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to selfishness;
6. from selfishness to complacency;
7. from complacency to apathy;
<----- you are here.
8. from apathy to dependence;
9. from dependency back again into bondage.
