This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yes. We have gained wild material wealth relatively compared to a thousand years ago. However, we traded the shared community or village we had for the wealth.
I guess you're talking about like WAY back in the past, like even before Eridu (the first city). So that would be like pre-5000 B.C. Back then, I suppose the family and the community were stronger because you kinda had to be. You didn't have the option of disconnecting from reality like we do now
