Life in society is better now than ever, but life in society has never been better than life outside it, so that now that society has come to take up all of our lives, our lives are actually worse than they were before society: for society seeks not happiness but painlessness, and while our lives outside society were more painful, they were also happier. Only when society seeks happiness rather than painlessness will life in society become better than it was before again.
