Hello @awah
It's an incredibly good post.
I like your point, and I share it.
I miss that feeling of familiarity you describe at the beginning of the post, and I've only managed to experience it in rural areas of my country.
Some time ago, when I was studying my first career, I did some activities in really poor areas, and I managed to feel that, they really had very little in terms of material, but they had each other, and that's important.
I tell you, my first contact with Fromm was when I was 16 years old, when I read his book "The loneliness of Man". They are a set of essays in which he talks about automation, mechanized work, and the dehumanization of man as a result of industrial monotony...
It was shocking to realize that, from that moment my philosophy of life changed.
Thank you very much for participating in the contest.
