That's an interesting take, but I feel in my senses you have a point. So many deals of rushing information being inyected through our senses it feels almost overwhelming. It makes you wonder if we, as an species, are losing something through the years of civilization. Are we more blind? more deaf? Once we shared the animal kingdom with our animal brothers. In comparison, their senses are way too sharp than ours!
We are less aware of when seeing others in pain, and we do not listen as well as we did. It is all connected - our current culture is about disconnecting from community.
And from the entire process of our relationship with the very world. I am seeking constantly, how to recover an "original" self, as we were once.
