Price of Civilization

From the Studio · YouTube

Civilization gives us safety — and asks us to cage the wild inside. Reggae on the price we pay. “Price of Civilization” by Roots in Wisdom is conscious reggae from the Sacred Mind album, inspired by Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud (1930). A deep, thoughtful roots tune: the tension between our raw instincts and the order we build to live together. THE BOOK & THE MESSAGE Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud (1930) explores the trade-off at the heart of society: we give up some primal freedom and instinct in exchange for security and civilization — and that tension is the source of much of our unease. The song sits in that tension — the wild and the ordered, and the price of living together. LIVE IT DAILY — how to use this takeaway every day - Notice where you cage a healthy instinct. - Find safe outlets for the wild — movement, art, play. - Balance personal freedom with responsibility. - Question one rule you follow on autopilot.
