the world would be a significantly better place if we all still lived in small, pack-like communities. i fully understand why people in some cultures live with 3 to 4 generations in one house. being canadian i have a fundamental belief in space, but i respect the idea. we are all alone in the end.
while we are young we look for that one person who we can rope into being there with us through all the shittiness of life. but, honestly, how long to you reckon they’ll be there? divorce, untimely death, staying together but growing apart. the odds are not in our favour.
a community would solve a good chunk of our problems. no more orphans. no more widows. always someone there to love you. always someone there to lean on. life seems so much less daunting with a safety net of people around you.
in short.. pack mentality people.
