Throughout history, huge achievements have happened. Shakespeare articulated emotion, tugging on the heartstrings of many. Darwin developed the idea of adapting to outside stimuli. The Wright Brothers taught us how to fly, Neil and Buzz walked on the moon.
We've seen people capable of love, evolving, teaching others to fly, technological advances.
Yet, not love for people who are different. Yet, an inability to evolve to someone who isn't the same. Yet, people are locking each other in cages, clipping their wings. Yet, sociological advances grind to a screeching halt.
The human race is truly amazing, and has done some incredible things. But let's not let past glory make us complacent and content with where we are. We have a long way to go.
