"The Vikings, and other ancient people like Sumerians, Romans, Greeks, Aztecs, Japanese and Africans regarded the community, nature, spirit, and culture as sacred and meaningful. They knew all of life contains the spirit of cosmos, and thus, each one of us reflects a higher order of existence. Therefore they were also less judgemental and moralistic about many issues that we cover in taboo today (death, race, inequality, struggle, gender differences, war)–according to the ancients, reality was viewed as one coherent system, and not a polarized world where we separate the things that makes us comfortable and popular over aspects of life that hurt or offend us."
