even today, there's memes about the first fish leaving the ocean and saying it should've gone back/stayed, since it eventually led to the present day with all it's stresses/etc. So it's probably a recurring theme throughout history of humans pining for an ignorant but blissful (or at least simple) existance.
another meme example is the meme that's like "you wake up as a lizard sunning on a rock. "Selling feet pics" to "pay student loans" quickly loses it's meaning as you lick your eyeball. Time to eat a bug."
