Rediscovering Human Bonds: Lessons from Africa

Western civilisation has its benefits and so too Capitalism and technology, but at what cost to our mental and spiritual health?
In today's fast-paced digital age, have we lost the art of true connection? Beyond the superficial interactions on WhatsApp & Facebook, lies a profound human need for genuine bonding and unity. Let's be honest, when was the last time you felt a real connection in a world dominated by screens and social media? It's time we stopped and reflected on the impact this is having on our community, mental health, and overall well-being. Maybe it's the institutions, or perhaps it's capitalism at its core, but somewhere along the line, we've drifted away from the essence of true social cohesion.
Modern-day capitalism and digital platforms have reshaped our interactions, often leaving us feeling more isolated than ever. From the silent cries in the Masjid to the eerie silence in the London Tube, we're faced with a reality where opportunities for genuine human connection are becoming increasingly rare. Yet, in the midst of this, there's a glimmer of hope. As we navigate through these challenging times, the potential for rebuilding stronger, more resilient communities is within our grasp.
