Your posts reminds me very much of pic related. Its a sort of, well, lack of soul. I'm not even sure I can call it a lack of understanding, as generally, to say that implies that something can be learned. This isn't something you can learn, its something that you carry with you, or if you've ever felt it, carries you. I know that you have never felt it, because if you ever did, you wouldn't be saying what you are saying. In the blood of a man, exists a force, an energy, something I don't quite have words for. Every man has felt it. Walking in the woods, or down the street as a kid, you come across somewhere you've never been. You don't just see the fallen trees, you don't just see the abandoned old shed. You feel them. Something pulls you toward them. Something down in your gut absolutely COMMANDS that you explore, that you discover. That same force is what made man, all those thousands of years ago, place one rock, atop another rock.
You are quite right, that a pile of stones does not make a man a genius architect, nor does it imbue him with some grand power. It does, however, display a very key mentality. The mentality of "upwards". The soul of one who builds. One who improves. And one who leaves a legacy for his ancestors to continue. It is a small, and simple act, that lets you know that he who moves those rocks is a real human being.
Funnily enough, I have to thank you for your posts, and for this thread in general. It drove me to a realization for a question I've had for a while now. Pre 9/11, and for a little while post, in random videos of high schoolers, gas stations, and just random people in public, there was an energy that doesn't exist today. Talking to my parents, my grandparents, and others in their age range has told me the same thing. (cont)
