Excerpt from the movie 'The Gods must be crazy - Part I'.

One of my favourite movie introduction scene...talks about civilized man with respect to bushmen of Kalahari.

Only 600 miles to the south, there's a vast city. And here you find civilized man.
            
Civilized man refused to adapt himself to his environment. Instead he adapted his environment to suit him. So he built cities, roads,  vehicles, machinery. And he put up power lines to run his labour-saving devices.
             
But somehow he didn't know when to stop. The more he improved his surroundings to make life easier, the more complicated he made it.

So, now his children are sentenced to 10 to 15 years of school, just to learn how to survive in this complex and hazardous habitat they were born into. And civilized man, who refused  to adapt himself to his natural surroundings, now finds he has to adapt and re-adapt himself every day and every hour of the day  to his self-created environment.

For instance, if the day is called Monday...

...and the number 7:30 comes up, you have to dis-adapt from your domestic surroundings and re-adapt yourself to an entirely different environment.

8:00 means everybody  has to look busy.

10:30 says you can stop looking  busy for 15 minutes. And then, you have to look busy again.
    
So, your day is chopped up into little pieces. And in each segment of time, you have to adapt to new set of circumstances.

No wonder some people go off the rails a bit.
