It is crazy how people who have nothing in the way of material possessions can have so much in the way in way of life. I have seen way more smiles in poor villages then I have in New York City, Atlanta, or even London. These village kids really taught me that life is rich, no matter how poor you are. Sometimes I think that all the western world has built has taken people further away from what is truly important in life. People are so busy trying to make it, or be rich, or successful that they have forgotten about life. I feel like our progression in a way is pulling us further away from enjoying the simple things.

I am referring to the fact that so much technology, takes us away from nature. I believe strongly that nature is a reminder to us of the divine, and a lot of people find religion, spirituality and a constant reminder of some greater power in their own interactions with nature. It is not true for all, but for a pretty good majority. I think that the Western way of life takes people keeps people so busy and takes them away from the natural world that people are digressing spiritually. They have more, but feel more lost.
