In this age I notice that there exists material abundance all around us yet the amount of social depravity and misery outweighs that abundance enormously.
What does it mean for us as a species where our social ties exist in decay amongst so much wealth and material abundance?
What use is it to conquer a world with all its material abundance only to find poverty in our social lives?
I would say such a thing exists in only a portion of the human species or in areas where the human population is highly concentrated.
Explain. Presently I see this in all societies especially the modern ones where it is magnified more intensely.
I just started a thread here that touches on a very similar topic.
Well quit thinking like an American… There are more societies out there than just those we know about or are concerned with. There is a little village in the Andes that has no material wealth but, the people are happy. One little village multiplied by hundreds of thousands of little villages throughout the world. Folks do not give a rats butt, about the problems of the world, A dad is going out fishing with his only son tomorrow to catch supper, it will take all day but, father and son will talk , laugh , argue and be generally content. They won’t catch any fish but , the mother has a hot kettle of vegies and grain for supper that will stave of hunger for another night. Sleep will come with the sound of a wild cat pursuing some nightly phantom.
Seriously you think all humans are really civilized to materials? Sad thing Joker. We humans are more diversified than that. Some of us still eat each other.
