At the Height of Civilization, comes De-Civilization

Something to ponder over.


Why is that?
I believe the world would somehow after the height of civilization, spiral downwards toward a world that we now would think as uncivilized. Its slowly becoming true.


I just read an article about a Spanish gym; it let its patrons workout naked. No, seriously, in their birthday suits! Well I don't see the purpose of it, because I like some undergarments holding my balls in place. It just shows that no matter what civilization brings to us, a better community, economy, human rights; some of us are still wanting something more natural. Its human nature to be comfortable in our first skins. Now that public places are letting us be as free as a chimpanzee, the brave would jump at the chance I guess.


Another thing that worries me, peace has never reached out to the whole world, many countries are still at war. This glutton for power and the lure of conquest will never fade from man's instinct. I have read a book about companies being able to buy a few countries and setup a new empire there. Why not, so many MNC's are richer than some countries, buying over one, developing it and making it its own market could be a future business strategy. Slowly, these empires would grow and other companies may fight to gain certain parts of the earth. Sounds a bit like ancient times where there would be empires at war with each other, with swords and bows. In the future, I assume, it would be numbers. Back then, it was the machine of war that propelled nations into glory, war technology brought them up. Right now, its more about money and economy, hence the numbers I was talking about meant money or stock; that would tell how powerful a group such as a company or any nation is. Its a new war, a war of companies, of sales and women would be the army, I guess. Buy buy buy and buy.

What else? Desperation; before every point of a spike in development or civilization, there was desperation. The need and drive that got mankind working their socks of for something better. Well, I think in the future, with all the technology, law and order, economy, work and studies, the new desperation is to break free. Like now, we hear more about rapists and the porn industry is getting bigger, there is a nude gym, private parties encouraging orgies, clubs that encourage cheating or swinging (if they really needed another name for cheating). Its the natural human instinct breaking out. I'm pretty sure you have asked yourself why is life getting more stressed. I'm 20, at the best time of my life, supposedly, and I have never felted this stressed before, when will I be desperate to be a free human being? Its the social connection between others, the common understanding of what's "cool" or "uncool" or what is now "right" or "wrong". All of that would change, just like how Bieber divided the world.
