All True Civilization is based upon Kindness and Compassion

 The original form of survival was the nuclear family and tribes and the kindness shown by family members to each other allowed the tribe to actually survive long term. As the older knowledgeable ones taught the younger members out of kindness how to hunt and to care for each other tribes and families within those tribes survived better as good knowledge was passed on from generation to generation all the way up to today.

So, the research of today helps create longer lifespans tomorrow (at least theoretically) because it's all in how things are actually implemented. Many people mean well of course but personalities can also get in the way of the end result sometimes too.

So, each person learning from their own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others allows families and tribes and governments to survive on into the future ongoing for centuries and hopefully millions of years to come.
