Humans Aren'T Progressing, We'Re Regressing

As humans we are starting to regress. 
Technology moves forward, but we move less. 
What we expect is unrealistic. 
Our culture revolves around being materialistic. 
Some of our past advances were great. 
But we are now playing with the balance of our fate. 
We have mapped our bodies and DNA. 
Now the laws of nature we don't obey. 
Plans for a super soldier is already in motion. 
They are taking out the gene that gives people emotion. 
From early on we are taught that money is everything. 
And anything you want money can surely bring. 
Our overall society was better before the Industrial Revolution. 
Some don't see it that way, but what we are doing, is not evolution.
