Basically adults 100 years ago and more had very different lives and doing hard labor and various things to survive day to day made them into something that is different that what the average adult is today. So many men today have low testosterone and basically act like women. Many women are very immature and emotional beyond even the normal amount that women should normally be based on sex differences. Even many people who exercise a lot and are in good shape would have a complete breakdown if they had to so much as survive sleeping in their car overnight or something.
We are essentially a society of domesticated beings rather than free natural humans. I include myself in this as well as I'm obviously a product of this sick society but have been working for years now to push myself well out of my comfort zone.
The closer you can live your life in parallel with that of primal man, the more happy and content you will be.
Modern society is designed to prevent us all from reaching self-actualization. That's why there are moistly children running around in adult bodies.
For primal man, self-actualization was a normal part of life's progression. Their society and lifestyle provided for all members to come to the realization of who they really are, and why they are on this planet.
in some tribes, when someone has done wrong, the tribe gathers around that person and sings a song...
of what? a hodgepodge of sorrow, acceptance, redemption, growth.
wonderful psychologist, erich fromm, in the book the art of loving, correlates todays times versus tribal times and the disconnect between the two.
Thank you, I'll look into the art of loving.
