Glory was relevant throughout Sailor, but glory is a completely universal aspect of life. In the age of the internet and the rise of social networking sites, Facebook seems like the new method to attain the prescribed glory. Narcissicism is something that has plagued humanity and seems to transgress culture and traditions. In that sense, we aren't much different from Noburu. He finds glory in the more subtle aspects of life; his mother, the sea, childhood, while we instead find glory from how many people like our posts on Facebook. With this connection, the modern lifestyle of the western civilization coincides with the traditional lifestyle of the eastern civilization. The ways in which we acheive this glory may differ, but the need to acheive this glory is present in both societies. The East and West aren't that different after all.
