There is great difference between the world we see on social media, on TV, in newspapers in magazines and the world in which we actually live in.
In a small cave in a jungle we live. Our village is a small tribe. Each one of us lifts his bows, arrows and spear in the morning and goes out to hunt.
By evening we return.
Some of us has returned with a huge killing of some lion. Some us has made killing of little rabbits.
Then there are rituals of village. We mix up with children. Listen to their problems. Women tell us about their problems.
Some elders sit separately. They discuss about potential threats of other tribes on our village and how to deal with.
They are concerned with bigger issues.
At night we go to sleep. We make a little love.
Then in morning, we resume as usual.
The key words in this life is “What daily killing we make” and “how we behave in evening with our women and children”.
Probably, these two things define life of most of us.
