Mankind

As we look out the windows of our high-rise buildings in our ever -expanding cities we are awed by the view. The sight of vast structureslooming everywhere, dwarfing what remains of nature. The skylinesfill with our manufactured monuments of accomplishment. All thatremains of nature is the air, a few trees and an occasional bird. Nowait, looking down we see people . How small they appear, how timid, howinsignificant. But then we reflect and remember that the minds, the visions, the efforts of these dedicated souls created all that we view. Ourfocus must realign from these things in our physical sight, to the thingsin the mind’s eye. For it is this spirit of mankind, the unrelentingcommitment, the never-ending perseverance that enables thesephysical monuments to exist. It is this extraordinary spirit, when properly focused, renews the possibilities of the future. It is this ame spirit that when recklessly released can devastate the world. It is the free choice of this spirit that defies destiny and casts the events of tomorrow. Choose well.
