We have become more aware of the powerful forces that impact us. There are influences, great and many, that affect our choices and how we see the world. And yet, you’re still reading this. I’m still writing it. We can exert some amount of control over our own lives, and even our collective destiny. If we truly believe this and appreciate its power, we’ll be alright. Just as we have always been. We will face hard times from time to time. We will struggle, and suffer, and strive. That is the nature of life, and no matter what technology we develop there is no separation from it. When we own this fact, we can pull ourselves away from the edge and lead each other toward the light. Do we see it? And will we act on it?
