Land of Aborigines

I once visited a village inhabited by aborigines. As one would expect, the people there looked primitive and lived primitively. In reality, their society was actually highly developed. At the very least, they were a lot more civil than people who like to call themselves civilized. The people there loved their children and respected their women. Gender inequality was non-existent. Women and men were regarded as equals. Many leadership positions were held by female aborigines.

Curiously, young boys and unmarried males did not sleep at home. Each night, they gathered in the town hall and stayed there until morning. I was told this is a way to train young tribal men to be independent. In another word, don’t run to your mommy or daddy when time is tough.
