The Illusion Of Civilization

By Lernell Leon

I began writing this piece (and those to follow) as a way to raise/guide my children as in the event of my demise and reaching out to a future generation that I may never see. Without a focus in life, a person can go insane. So, this is a way of providing a compass to those adrift in the sea of life. This has led me also to consider "fatherless children", who may also need a little guidance in the absence of one or both parents/guardians. Soon I recognized that we all could use some extra guidance and reassurance in this world of "opinions over values"-the truth of "values" and the value of "truth". This is but an attempt to help hold on to values of another time while navigating our own. If the world suffered a "reset" and it had to be built back up, can we make it just as good? Can we make it better? As we look through the myriad of works throughout the ages, we see the same themes emerge, the same lessons learned, and the same maxims universally ignored as time marches on. Looking through different works and the observation of the world today can show us clues, some subtle while others are not, we examine the societal mentality, whether it is a palace or a prison, and one can escape or penetrate these social norms-but who says they are normal?
