Athens & the Instability of Freedom

[AeternusDoleo]

Eh. Until every person on this globe can agree on a common vision of an ideal world, any utopia project is going to fail. Some folks feel that personal freedom is the highest virtue. Others feel subserviance to a higher power is the highest virtue (and often don't agree on which power, or by which means this subservience is best presented). Some feel we should turn to technology as the answer to the problems of the future, others look instead to the past. The world is too chaotic a place for any one ideal society to last. And where there are multiple ideals, there will be conflict. And eventually, the fall of such a society.

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
