The happiest age is the age you are today.
The past is a chimera, a figment of your imagination.
The future is hazy and may evaporated if you step in front of a bus.
In the immortal words of Ivor Callely, quoting from that guru, Kung fu Panda.
The past is history.
The future's a mystery.
We only have the gift of today--that's why we call it the present.

10,000 years of Middle Eastern civilisation and the place is not at peace but rather in pieces.
