Monuments of Culture-less-ness
When I was growing up in Africa, I learnt to be patient with the understanding that there is a time and a place for everything. In order to get something, one has to know the right time to go get it and where to find it. Today I live in a society that totally lacks this knowledge. People have no patience or tolerance for other human beings, so they have no problems treating other human beings worst than they would treat an animal. People also lack the sense of community or belonging because the culture encourages individualism. That’s why there is such a high rate of divorce, family breakup, depression, suicide, and loneliness. So people turn to animals for companionship, thereby, elevating the animals to human status.
