back tracking


“Ib'n Khaldun based his system on the intuition that men decline, morally and physically, as they drift towards cities. The rigours of the desert, he suggested, had preceded the softness of cities. The desert was thus a reservoir of civilisation, and desert peoples had the advantage over settlers because they were more abstemious, freer, braver, healthier, less bloated, less craven, less liable to submit to rotten laws, and altogether easier to cure.”

.....

Cities. a sad tale of crowds, concrete and combustion.

Hands was made to gather. Feet was made to wander.
Is it but a wicked coincidence my mind was made to linger?
Or has it a purpose?
Restless again. But something is missing.
