With the disappearance of knowledge based on antique wisdom and traditions we are undoing the cords that at one time kept our communities together.  Before the arrival of mechanized agriculture, people inside of a community were united in a feeling and a necessity of reciprocal help. In order to work the land people needed one another and in virtue of this they were more likely to have behavior of a common respect and respect for the shared physical space and the survival of the entire community. Today, people feel disolcated from this dependance on reciprocal help and are led to pursue exclusively their own interest at the risk of sacrificing the common good.
