Civilization

"There are three centers of what might be called mythological and folkloristic creativity in the Middle Ages.  One is the cathedral and all that is associated with monasteries and hermitages.
A second is the castle.
The third is the cottage, where the people are.
The cathedral, the castle, and the cottage - you go to any of the areas of high civilization, and you will see the same - the temple, the palace, and the town." -Joseph Campbell , The Power of Myth

Is this true of America as a whole?  What about your town?  Perhaps the same exists even in your family?  
Roles are divided and played out...
It is said that the greatest wisdom is in recognizing truth; the one that lies before us.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
