Why is there so much friction in the world today, when we have so much technology and thousands of years of wisdom behind us?
A friend's FB question (on a different line) prompted this content.
When man started off, he lived in small groups, not more than 150 when they tended to drift away. We can safely assume that this was his 'natural' state of being, as nature made the first version of man thus. All property was shared. The cave, the stones, the tools, the bones (of animals killed), the animal fur used as clothing, everything. No husbands, no wives. Only a community. Some natural affinity must have existed between specific pairs, otherwise raising kids would have been a problem. But that was it. Since food was always a problem to find, man had no time to think of anything else. (Reflections of these situations are found in today's world problems).
This went on for tens of thousands of years. Man was perfectly well suited to it, and then came development!
