Well, that's so much food for thought. The recent previous generations fought to free ourselves from prejudice, to give ourselves the right to choose for ower own. No arranged marriages, we can choose who we love. And still some see marriage as a prison.
There is this very bright men, a sociologist, Norbert Elias that says the times society evolved the most was when they had common morals and ethics battles to fight. Because it was important to acknowledge each other to survive. He says today we are becoming individualists due to the conveniality of modern life. And we're 70% more civilized than we were in the middle ages. But confusing irresponsibility for freedom is making us go backwards towards civilization.
Just because we have invented microwaves some think we don't need others and the feeling that our caves are sacred is gone, we could survive if there was no hunters or people to make fires and heat our dinner. It's the age of fulfilling the individuals insticts needs opposed to what differentiate us from irrational beings: the emotions, intelligence and ability to truly care.
On the surface we are mislead to think that what we do in the name of personal "freedom" are the most important things. Most cannot remember why morals and ethics were created in the first place. It's easier to survive now.
That just make me wonder if cavemen were wiser.
Sorry, I guess I am rumbling and tripping, but I can't get over the fact that we are loosing from sight that we need to care for each other to survive.
Guess it is what makes this forum special, the ability to care, it gives us hope.
