The Implications of Civilisation to Love Life , Work and Morality
Before civilization we were all hunters . There was nothing funny about seing someone dressed poorly because we wore skins and our chests were mostly bare. All men and women were not as big as today because we ate raw food , we drunk river water , we chased animals to hunt and bring meat to our loved women . Women would equally fetch firewood and help their men to dry or smoke the meat . Before civilization even simple things like setting fire on required energy , four men would take turns to make fire using sticks and stones . Before civilisation every morning to brush your teeth we needed to go to the river put white sand in our mouth and shake with water until our teeth were white . There was no one pooing in the river for it was a great curse to do so . Before civilisation the most admired men were those who were adventurous , who would leave huts to hunt wild animals would return to their family later at night bringing meat and fruits to their wives, girlfriends and children. Their wives or girl friends would welcome them home with a smile on ther face wihout suspicious questions, ' why were you taking so long ? did you really go hunting ? let me smell your body.' But now women want a man who has time for them , they want when the phone rings ngiri ngiri ngiri the man must explain where he is , what he is doing and when is he coming home . They want the man who can say ' I miss you , I love you ' at the end of each call. And before civilization women could go and walk far away to visit their relations without a man becoming paranoid ' when are you coming home ? I can hear the voice of a man on the background , who is it ? I am not spending much time with you these days , is anyone else in your heart ? ." But now every hour milions of mobile phones are ngiri ngiri ngiri men asking where are their lovers .
Before civilization it was normal to see the wife of your neighbor sweeping outside the hut without covering her top but now even a slight exposure of her body be mini skirt or blouse raises temperatures and murmurings .
What has civilization done to us ? We have built houses and only feel comfortable to see the nakedness of your wife or husband in your house that's why when we see women with mini skirts they become victims of violence because civilization only recognizes the nakedness of men and women while inside the house . We used to have no laws of privacy but civilisation has made us to question the moral character of two people holding hands in public , two people kissing in public , civilisation has taught us to call such behaviors indecency or sexually provocative manners . Before civilization love was expressed not by a number of text messages , phone calls or flowers or cards . There was no Valentine yet families stuck together more than now . Civilisation has taught us capitalism , individualisation , we now own dogs , cats , cars , houses and we need our own space but before civilization your cat was my cat , your car was my car and I would work for no.pay as long as its good for the community but now mankind has changed .
In total all these evil things in society are somehow to do with civilization which has made us lazy, less adventurous , paranoid about the things we see , greedy and lack of community oriented approach to life . I stand to be corrected .
