Sunshine was a huge deal before lightbulbs.
Artificial lighting used to be really expensive, so light in the morning and evening, while receiving shade at midday would have absolutely thought of.
My opinion is the modern world, especially in developed nations, is too dependent on conveniences like light bulbs, microwaves, salted roads. Now no one has to give any thought to other people or the world around them, just what they need in the moment. People being selfish isn’t new, but now the whole world seems to cater to being selfish.
