The Real Loss

Mankind is in a crisis as a result of being under western domination.
I'm not here to  write about materialism although there is a connection.    I want to look at  the loss of the moral and spiritual connections of mankind not just in the west, but as a result of them now all over the world.
There has always been something about the east compared to the west that has stood out and this is because of their deep spiritual orientation. Their thoughts are written in so many books on topics such as What is the purpose of life/ Why are we here? Where are going? How did we get here?
The easterners never forgot to take note of these key questions . Now we see a world completely different.
I think we are witnessing a  epidemic of worldliness, which results in loneliness. Although we are advanced in high technology, we find people are now disconnected from everyone else. We have forgotten how to speak. All we do is tex, email. We do not even write letters any more. if we are in a office we would rather email the person in front of us, then talk.
Man is just not disconnected from the natural world, but from his neighbour and from himself. I really wonder if we really know who we are any more?
