Shackles of our bleak world
Man has achieved what was impossible by believing that it could be brought into the light of existing life forms. The world often reward such men with titles like “Crazy”, “Fool”, “Stupid” or “Illiterate” because for the residents of this reality it is just another island they cannot sail towards.
But these are the very men that lay the foundation of a new future, where the possibilities of attaining the ill-achievable heights exist. The purpose of such men are not just to improve theirs but the lives of entire human kind.
Take for example the first man who said “the earth is round” in an era when calling earth flat was considered a religious ethic and no one was allowed to defy it, even with reasons. This man’s announcement led him to commit a cardinal sin. But he could not had taken back the statement as it was the truth-est truth he had experienced.
The world as it always has been, hung him for treason of religious believes. But for all it was worth, the man must had sacrificed himself with a smile on his face as he knew he was right.
We, as in the habitants of this era, are no longer limited by the general truth of life and earth, a struggle of thousand years to prove things right and wrong have made “science” relevant, which emphasize more on proves than blind believes.
