I found
it amazing, how humans evolved from small groups of gather/hunters who seemed
to live simple lives. Concerned with little other then their daily tasked
necessary to survive, to a people who settled and with the creation of
agriculture to massive Empire. Was this our instinct to live in one place and
form larger groups? We began to slowly leave some of our nomadic ways behind.
Who showed us this new way of living? These questions some to mind as I
question the way multiple Empires spurted up in different parts of the word
almost in tandem. While some Empires did know of each other, even conflicting
and battling one another. There were other that were very much remote and had
little knowledge of the other Empire but shared commonalities.
An
Empire was not just a larger group of people, but political structure and
government. It is only understandable that with a larger group of people it
becomes necessary to develop a system, however I do question if it is this
development of a structure is what turns out to be the down fall of the people.
The
Empire provided protection and a stability while allowing people to develop
skilled trade. The down side is value is placed on the skills or contribution
people give to the Empire. This can be a dangerous path to travel as all jobs
are important and all people should be equally valued. A community is like a
chain and when one link is removed or broken the chain no longer has is strength.
This seem to be a continue problem that present day communities still face and
have not found a resolution to.
