It seems to be easy for a person to grow up in a capitalist country to be uncultured. The society today makes all the base needs of an animal important constructs to happiness. The actions of celebrities are the center of activity in an adult’s world. Anyone raised in this environment will see that their day to day lacks the cultural growth that provides the individual with the warmth of a belief; the imagination of joy; and the love of natural belonging to Earth and it’s previous spiritual people. Just to name a few: Siebenburgen Saxons, Vikings, Roman, Pagans, Irish, &/or Scandinavians, all had a love for their beliefs/heritage. It was their bread that they could break and share with their community. It was their kindling that lit the fire in their bellies for defense and offense. They waved a flag with love; therefore, they had more than materialistic trinkets that gave them spiritual sustenance. In fact, the peoples from yesteryears were happier than those of today. Commonality is what makes man connect with others in nature and to himself. Mournfully today people don’t love enough of where they come from. The envy goes further back than one generation where the love of culture was shattered.
I grew up in an environment where knowledge and books were shunned. Of the talk of heritage is German and part Irish, yet nothing from the culture remains; other than the nationality name. There was no pass down of Irish folk music or German cuisine; likewise, there was also an absence of wanting to see our homelands. I had no seven forts to emboss my childhood with wonderment. I had no religion that I held close to my heart. Furthermore, I was just enveloped in the wispy embrace of being an American. Even though I had this faux identity there were still no Revolution or Civil War relics, but there was a few stories of a confederate veteran that died in 1861. It was a passing tale of possibility that he existed; at any rate, it was thrown to the fire like a TV Guide from the previous year.
The end result I found myself lost without a drive to conquer and explore the world around me. Moreover, a person raised like that the end result is he is liberal to everything simplistic and instant gratifying. A day that would have great discoveries of the shared wisdom of generations before is cast to collecting heavy metal from Scandinavia. In the hopes that something will stick to the rubber of the uncultured soul. The moments spent being the class clown with future trouble that awaited me; in fact, showed me that I wasted much of that time not learning. Learning comes hard for a person when the world he knows is shadowed by interpersonal dramas.
In conclusion, if a person isn’t raised in an environment then it takes that individual more years to find something that he or she should already love. For heritage is more than just a flag, banner, or belief; it is something that is as natural as the rain that brings the land subsistence. Homelands don’t have to be an ocean away, for they can be a person’s own hometown where grew up and die in one small space. The love should be centered on the people that were similar to you that came before you. A passionate embrace with the community and nature that one shares with the fabric of human existence. Too much time today is spent on moving away from the center and become Americanized; as a result, casting off the living world of heritage and adorning the armor of a money making machine. Man is supposed to never become disconnected and robotic, for that is what makes us pure of heart and accepting of our own demise that our offspring will continue our traditions. As man regresses to a pitiful, disjointed figure that walks and talks about modernism and corporations he has already divorced himself from his homeland cradle that only gave him contentment. This great divorce of the soul is the death of man’s light.
