I think the main thing is consistency. If you know the way things are and can be reasonably certain they will stay that way you can find your niche and work to improve yourself within those constraints. When things keep changing that becomes very difficult.
No one alive in the West has seen anything resembling consistency. What they are taught as a child is "good" is fundamentally different to what is "good" 30, 60, and 90 years later. That is probably one of the very few common denominators all of us here have: we were taught certain values when we were children that today is a complete 180 (and if you're on the older side maybe you've experienced this more than once) to what are taught now, and we're all sitting here trying to make sense of how the hell that could have happened and why no one else seems to have a problem with that.
