Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Our Planet is now quivering on the very brink of one of its most amazing and enthralling epochs of social readjustment, moral quickening, and spiritual enlightenment!. It is a shame so few are aware of this!.

P!.1008 - ยง2 5!. The Urantia Papers!. The papers, of which this is one, constitute the most recent presentation of truth to the mortals of Urantia!. These papers differ from all previous revelations, for they are not the work of a single universe personality but a composite presentation by many beings!. But no revelation short of the attainment of the Universal Father can ever be complete!. All other celestial ministrations are no more than partial, transient, and practically adapted to local conditions in time and space!. While such admissions as this may possibly detract from the immediate force and authority of all revelations, the time has arrived on Urantia when it is advisable to make such frank statements, even at the risk of weakening the future influence and authority of this, the most recent of the revelations of truth to the mortal races of Urantia!. Note Urantia is an ancient name for Earth!.http://www!.urantia!.org/papers/paper92!.ht!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both!. It depends on the context!. Look at all the kids committing crimes against each other and posting on the internet!.
Then look at all the money spent by charities on the poor!.
You can go back and forth like that for days!.
But my estimation is we are on the way out of the Enlightenment and headed back toward the darkness of Plato's Cave!.

As in the case of the original reference (see source), we are in both the best and worst of times, and moreover in times that are significantly over-hyped!.
