i believe people like us would fit in very easily in a tribe. A lot of modern society people have lost their inner narrative, as it has been replaced by consumerism. The traveling inward has a wealth that people of nowadays have mostly lost. Artists, programmers, writers and other creative people, those who create not in some kind of mechanical way, but as a product of inner dialogue, those people are like the messengers of a world before corporations and the over-dependence on consumerism. The less I buy, the more I am creating to fill in the voids. It took me a while, but I can say that I don't really desire things anymore. I desire experiences and connection, but not 'things.' It has not always been this way, but I started my quest pretty early....in my early 20's. I've been practicing this for a while now.

Huh, that's a really thought provoking perspective. Maybe Steemit is the tribe! I'm definitely getting better at detaching myself from things. Objects only matter to me insofar as they are vehicles for experience.
