Somewhere, we made a wrong turn. 🧭 Being human? Our natural state? = We are Social Beings – belonging innately to a pack -(family, tribe, community, friends, herd). Sentient. Capable of critical reasoning/problem solving/analytical thought. Emotional. Sensitive/ Aesthetic. Intuitive. Are we steadily becoming ‘detached‘ from those qualities that define the human being?
