Rather, we were taught, formed, forced to believe nothing is important in life other than that which we have personally chosen.

The supermarket and shopping mall have been our school.

Tim GunnHumans are pack animals. In Biblical times, the great market cities in Europe or the United States, people want to be with other people. And in a way, the more that we're isolated, whether we're living on farms and we're only talking to our cell phone, the greater the need we have for group experience.

Why are people going to museums? Why are they going to sporting events?
