I’m greatful for enlightenment values via /r/gratitude

When we think about the values which now underpin much of the world, it really is pretty amazing. Concepts like tolerance, societal progress, logical reason ect now underpin our society which has lead to prolonged societal progress in many parts of the world.

Values like the rule of law, human rights, democracy, freedom of expression and individual liberty have many life 10x better than what it use to be when societal values were centred around tradition, superstition and the divine right of the monarch.
