Improvement is inevitable for the future, whether it be inventions, recipes, societies, or to better oneself, things are meant to evolve for the greater good. Along the pathway of improvement there are always setbacks or weights that can make the journey more tiresome and less efficient. Civilizations across the globe can deteriorate from even minor issues and clearly suffer vaster damages from more significant problems.
