Thinkers from time immemorial have known that what we call "civilization" is nothing short of a human disaster. Here are just two brilliant quotes for you to ponder:
ReplyDelete"The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization." -Emerson
"We come upon a contention which is so astonishing that we must dwell upon it. This contention holds that what we call our civilization is largely responsible for our misery, and that we should be much happier if we gave it up and returned to primitive conditions. I call this contention astonishing because, in whatever way we may define the concept of civilization, it is a certain fact that all the things with which we seek to protect ourselves against the threats that emanate from the sources of suffering, are part of that very civilization." -Sigmund Freud "Civilization and Its Discontents"
Yet we persist.
ReplyDeleteWe seek, and live for hope even though we fear it doesn't never existed.
We persist.
