Civilization
Civilization
What is civilization all about?
According to the oxford dictionary, Civilization:- n, 1 Advanced stage or system of social development. 2 A people or nation regarded as an element of social evolution.
There are mighty fancy words out-there, advance stage of social development? This is the most absurd thing that I know of. Let me give you an example to highlight the magnitude of abutment that I am talking about here. Lets talk about the ancient civilizations, which one do you want to talk about? I am sure you will be very proud of the fact that you can trace your roots to at least one great civilizations of the past. But frankly let me ask you what do you know of this great civilization? What can you tell me about your ancestors of the past? Thats right not much except for the little information gathered by the historians, and you wan to know why?...because look around and try to point to at least one of these things that has survived. Thats right they all come with one basic flaw in them.
All civilizations come with a basic flaw in them they CRUMBLE. This fact is as real as the fact it is the all living creatures die. What does this fact tell us? Humans were not meant to be in these big 'civilization'. which is the oldest civilization that you know of? The myan,indus,egyptian,greek? Yup they were all the dominating civilizations of there time. Yet not all that much is known about them now a days.
Kind of makes you think what will the future civilizations know about us? That is not our primary concern here. As I as saying, if they were so grate then why did they fall. This is another point to support my claim. Humans have been evolving for tens of thousands of years, we were a happy lot only until the point when civilizations came into the picture. Things have gone hay-wire only from that point. Civilization brought all the modern day malice along with it. It brought greed,crouption,sloth basically most of the 10 commandments and most of the modern time evils. You see the primitive man did not have to deal with all this nonsense. He just lived on a day-to-day bases. He was a happy man. He gathered, he hunted and he lived happily ever after...
