Are we living in a Golden Age?

How different in those other planets where sin is not known! There the Golden Age still exists. 

There you will find no gloomy anticipation of death as on Earth, but all are happy in contemplating the change from the mortal to the immortal—for so keen and clear is their spiritual vision, so pure and lovely are they in their lives that they see the spirits of their departed friends, and these see the human form and have intimate communion the one with the other, walking and talking in loving friendship.

—Hafed, Prince of Persia
