Modernity and the ancient wisdom
We are spiritual beings, our ancestors believed in karma, in the evil eye and in demons that could steal their souls. They hung animal parts on their front doors to ward off calamities. They chewed on roots for sustenance and healing, and they were more knowledgeable about plants and their effects on the body and the psyche. They lived a more spiritual life, a life less entrenched in matter. We have exchanged this ancient wisdom for flashy commercial centers and a heedless rush after mindless consumerism.
