Homelessness Countering the Destruction of Home: a Return to Sensuous Communication
This is a paper I used in my pilgrimage class.
I think it does a great way of elucidating the human condition to see nature for its resources and how we can use them. With the emergence of advanced technology, our communities are becoming an online digital world, and we are losing the spark of real connection. We have alienated from our planet, our peers, and even ourselves.
Humans have lost touch with their essence; the digital world has dampened the senses, and we continue to try to bend nature to our will.
"cultivating a mastered-centered environment."
Ex: with email and text, we assume everyone should be accessible at all times of the day, and there are unrealistic pressures for people to answer and get back to people as fast as they reached out. Everything is fast forward, and if we slow down, there are embedded consequences that we will get left behind.
