The Blooming Soul of Civilization Beyond Survival

I believe civilization leads to a more developed mentality.

Civilization, to me, is the art of using technology — not for domination, but for ease, connection, and creativity. It means embracing comfort while still remembering simplicity.

It means peace and mutual respect, even in times of tension. It means appreciating art, history, and culture, and nurturing a habit of reading.

It’s about having healthy boundaries — for yourself and others. It’s about living consciously, with a healthy lifestyle, saving energy and money, resisting consumerism.

Civilization means being your true self, without masks or the need to “show off.” It means protecting flora and fauna, living in modesty without arrogance, and daring to do unusual things — stepping outside the comfort zone and following the voice of your heart, turning ideas into reality. That’s how you build real self-respect.

Civilization means raising children with life skills and self-esteem, from the very beginning. It means welfare and well-being.

It’s about connection — with the wide range of people, with animals (like crows), plants, stones, buildings — and honoring the diversity of thought.

It means taking time to truly understand music, paintings, theater, design — and to appreciate them deeply.

In prosperous, civilized families, children are given real opportunities to discover and grow their talents — until they finally blossom. In such homes, art is considered so sacred that it cannot be exchanged for anything in the world.

Morality is precious — but it’s not the same as civilization.

You may live in a remote village and still have a developed mind — but people like that are rare. And if your life is filled only with chores, with no access to tools or devices for reflection or learning, how can you expect to find time to question, to change, to grow?

Civilization is good — for everyone. It is rooted in the fusion of culture, history, and science.

Where civilization exists, there will certainly be flourishing and a sense of being truly alive.
