Commentary

Let’s start a long, long time ago. What was available back then? For instance, what was available at the time of prehistoric man? Stones as tools, arrows. And what does man have today? Electricity, cell phones, atomic power, and neglected SPACE TRAVEL. Who tells us what we will have some day? And who will create what we will have, according to what we are supposed to have? Human beings. The only thing that matters is what we have. So it has to be our task, even our obligation, to do nothing else than what is expected from us in the far future. The things that we have gathered in our past turn us into what we are today. There were many things that didn’t contribute to today’s status. I do not only think of wars, but of passivity and of each individual’s ego, causing him to solely mind his own welfare and needs. The multitude of man, whole people and nations. It is still taught to put man into center stage. What will people say about us one day, when a new era arrives? What have we done for them? Atomic power and peace? Or even some new things, like those we have inherited from our ancestors? How many times do we want to arrive at a dead end (x on the picture), be non-productive and useless for evolution?
