While we of the "modern world" learn about the not modern, most of us tend to think, "Of course they need to modernise, but I agree with you. Since happiness isn't something that can be created and purchased at a store, we should be like them, knowing happiness, simply in being alive. A road may allow someone to physically get to a beloved place, but our love for the place is in our hearts, just as our loved ones who have gone before us are in our hearts. They don't have to be here, and we don't have to be there to know, that that love is with us, in us.

I lament the road, and the plastic containers. They will not bring true happiness.
