We’re living in the future, did you know? Yesterday’s future is today. But I don’t seem to be living in the steel and glass constructions that were envisioned. Instead, I see urban sprawl cover the face of the globe. Sprawl may be too pleasant of a word to use. The cities that we see springing up like flowers in spring are nothing more than elaborate slums.
I am loathe to see my fellow man live in such conditions. It makes you stop and think. What does it take to bring happiness? Where does joy come from? What causes that unyielding hope that keeps them going?
In short, I think we have a lot to learn from the slum, both about human nature as well as our responsibility towards each other.
