Çivilised' life is a never ending rat race. You are born then socialised to covet and chase after never ending desires. The civilised material culture is rewarding to a few but a bottomless pit of poverty and desperation for the majority.
Flash back to the days of our ancestors...life was simpler...much much simpler. Some cultures like the Surma of Ethiopia have remained mostly uncivilised, and many cultures like our own Turkana have also mostly remained true to their culture. Theirs to an untrained eye is a pitiful lifestyle, but to those who value cultural identity, it is the most meaningful existence.
The question is, is it truly advantageous to adopt western style cultural, religious and economic structures? Who gains the most from our push for industrialisation? What has civilisation given to maknind;
who shall sustain the earth? The industrialist or the hunter gatherer?
