Progress, in the sense of acquisition, is something; but progress in the sense of being, is a great deal more.

We take it for granted that we can see at all times of day and night. But there was a time, not all that long ago, in the age before electricity, when night brought total darkness - and with it, a not-so-small amount of terror.
