-The Realization of the Unconcerned-

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Feudalism has long since disappeared into the mist surrounding the Medieval period. Misconceptions and myths roam the land of Dark Ages, enlightened only by recent discoveries. However this blog will not revolve around emptying this particular crevice of history, but instead exploring the unforeseen terrain of the remnants of the great feudalist ideology in our modern day society. As we travel the well-worn path of European cities, we are often attracted about the great stories associated with each enigmatic city. Travelling to Europe has often been seen as spiritual journey, in my opinion, until I realized how globalization effected this ideology. Travelling to the great cities of Europe seems to  no longer revolve around the cultural significance, instead the cultural significance revolves around class distinctions and superficial motives 

(Not as Copernicus intended- Europe=Earth, Cultural Significance=Sun, spotted the scientific humour?)

Europe has developed into another pretentious objective to reflect upon hierarchy.

It has almost lost its ambiguity, instead to be replaced by consumerist realities. 

The path has been stained by the roots of corruption, nurtured by the exploitation that is employed by tourism and our materialistic affair. We are awaiting the demise of appreciation, instead welcoming foreigners, not to cultural attractions and history, but to availability of clothes, souvenirs, etc. A facade to suit the newly formed superficial era.

I can just imagine another fixated

 and vain conversation, maybe structured in this manner?

"Oh Darling I have had the most noticeable week, after the Bahamas I went to Europe...

Where did I go? Oh you know I do not remember the names of places, only that I bought another channel dress".....and the superficial conversation continues, without acknowledging or appreciating the culture and history, one passes through Europe with nothing more but plastic, consumerist souvenirs to aid ones quest for rising social reputation. Without understanding the enigma and atmosphere associated with Europe, can anyone truly feel fulfilled and enlightened, or do they prefer the Dark Ages of Materialistic exploration, or the negative side of the European Vacation. Well this is all I will write....for my single reader....

Hope Capu_let enjoys this segment, so thoughtfully opposed at 10:01....improvement from my usual 12:28 posted blogs, you have to agree...

Goodnight!

"As we travel the path of exploration, remember that your only companion is awareness itself"

(And yes I did travel on the path of enlightenment on that occasion :))

<-(The type of consumerist filth that I describe- and  no i did not purchase one myself....although I do have a tendency to embrace my materialistic side)
