all that is solid melts into air

The idea: that those most happily at home in the modern world may be the most vulnerable to the demons that haunt it. The idea: that the daily routine of clubs and cars, of shopping and eating and cleaning up,of ordinary hugs and kisses, may not be only joyous and infinitely beautiful but also infinitely precarious and fragile. The idea: that it may take desperate and heroic struggles to sustain this life, and sometimes we lose.
A book by the revolutionary writer marshall berman sheds some light on the ever changing, ever revolutionizing era of modernity we live. It is our struggle as modernists to grasp at the air to find that bit of solidarity that we crave so much in a world of constant evaporation.
So will you, man or woman of modernity, fight to hold onto what you know is real and fight against the hot melting heat that threatens to evaporate everything you know and love. Or will you as radical revolutionists melt yourselfs in hope that one day you may solidify into something new, revolutionary, and ground breaking?
These are the two greatest questions we must ask ourselves in times of great change.....
