The Life i ONCE knew

Where i lived, people live in communities and got to know each other very well, everyone knews what was happening in each others lives, we did not have to use phones, or any electric gadget to get to one another.
The richest possession one had was a bicycle and cows, when you had many cows you and your family were the richest people in the community.
People shared everything with their neighbours, from food to celebrations and work. there was immeasurable concern about you from everyone, life was amazing, the few times i was there i always enjoyed the dances in the evenings and the weekends, the stars were so beautiful in the sky, the moon so full, it was the only source of light so Beautiful, we sat around the fire in the evenings and listened to grandpa telling stories as grandma, was getting the food ready, it was beautiful, we did not care about any dangers, we were never worried about what tomorrow would bring, it was a life taken care of, we always slept at the fire place listening to the stories but wake up in the little hut(bedroom) in the cold, by the time you remember to coil up into the blankets its already mornig and your friends are calling out for you to go to the gardem, the dew in the mornig felt so cold and nice as we playing on our way. We would have wild friuts for early breakfast and get back for a hot cup of porradge made by grandma so good.................and off we go again into the forest to look for firewood, by the time we come back lunch is ready, we always moved from one place to another until we find a place with music or a celebration going on, no invitations were passed around everyone was always welcome anytime and there was always enough food for everyone. It was the Best of the life i knew, I have seen my Home town before the War, During the War and After the War, It is the most Beautiful Place i have been to Before the war, and now all is gone, the people, the homes, Laughter and the music is all gone, the people have lost hope in life, the are so careless about life now, no body cares about anything anymore, the Men are wasted, the drink from morning to evening, the women are joining them too, leaving the children all by themselves, no parental care or anything like that, nature takes care of these children, they nolonger have any cultural norms or respect and ways of living extended out to them, it is a wasted generation now. it is different, it is not as fun as it used to be and not as beautiful as it used to be it is still my home.
The times i spent there are Priceless and it is still the life i once knew.
It was the Life i Knew before everything Changed.
