culture reading
I find the reading to be really interesting, and at times to be dumbfounding. This is by far one of the most eccentric cultures I've read of. That fact that a certain tribe's sole function is to rule and exploit other seems really odd to me, but not far-fetched. Yet I wonder if they have always been control, and if other tribes have tried to overthrow their over lords. Their infancide practice was a real shock to me as well. I think all living beings, and people included, have a natural tendency to want children of their own. That fact that they carry on their lineage through adoption is extremely odd. Besides that, I really enjoyed looking at their paintings. Their patterns reminds me of drawing on chinese porcelain.
