Where are you in this cycle?

[oldbuddy]

A wealthy Sheikh was asked about the future of his country, and he replied,

"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover, but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again"
Why is that, he was asked? And his reply was,
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.

I don't know where in the cycle humanity is right now, but I'd get my camel ready.
