Human lived in harmony with his sorroundings. He didn´t exploit and thus de-construct that what he needed to survive. He wasn´t alienated from the environment,
he didn´t feel superior
he didn´t subordinate life for petty dominance
he was conscince of the reach his acts could do
in short, he was in tune.
Beauty was objective, as a very wise man from far away in time described it "Beauty is the only tangible and at the same time divine thing"; beauty wasn't sold, for it belonged to every, I mean EVERY human being.
But know what can be sold is what´s worth your sweat. Sad, sad turns human has taken in his long long road toward............. progress?????,
evolution????
de-evolution?????

or is it just one huge cycle (so huge that we will always be unable to measure it , for history doesn´t have the best of memories?)a cycle in which we are right now obviously riding at the low part?
Or is this all just natural human paranoia; many civiliztions have thought they existed in decadent times, Greeks, Aztecs, Babylonians, etc. all shared this "We are living in decadent times-and the past was far better" feeling.

But I beleive I´m not erring when I say this is TRULLY a low time for humanity. Statistclly , Ethically , Ecologically wise we are in the pits.

A society that says "What you have is what you are"

A science that thrives on blatant transformation and technologicall improvement that has enslaved hummanity instead of liberating it as it was once proposed. (Bacon, Descartes)

In short, the defense of a way of life that is most costly for our Planet and for the largest part of hummanity.

Progress??????????

(I´m sorry for the universe of spelling mistakes but english isn't my native tounge.)

Well if you believe in God enough you can see beauty everywhere between all the gloom. Did not God say let you eye be one? Look for evil and you only see the bad of the world. Search for the smallest of uniqueness
which is the working of Gods hand and you may find beauty. Everything happens because of God's plan. Not man's. Even though it appears that way.
