The great pyramid,
The great wall of China,
and Mt Rushmore.
NOTHING of our so called advanced modern society
(...except plastic and Styrofoam garbage.)
Kind of humbling.
This can be seen two ways. It can be really sad or it can be looked at in a mythological way. I can hear good ol' Joe (Campbell) saying something like this...
"That reminds me of the story known as 'The Humbling of Indra." He recounts the story in the video "The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers" I've always liked that story and the way he tells it. Here's a 1 page transcript. http://www.red442joe.com/red442joe/indra.htm
