Someday, we'll all cease to exist.  We know that we are mortals, and being so we devise a scheme of bringing up off-springs for continuation of our unfinished journey.  During the process, we created the fight for resources between us and the nature, and all sorts of inventions to ensure that our off-springs can have the abundance of everything, except that we forgot the other side of the equation – what we gain is most likely a loss to the others.

Someday, we’ll know that our scheme is not perfect, and being so we devise another scheme of reducing off-springs for continuation of our unfinished journey.  During the process, we created the fight for the rights to exist across the social ladder, and all sorts of inventions to ensure that our off-springs can have the minimal of everything, except that we forgot the human side of the equation – there is no justice as well as static state of satisfaction.

Someday, we’ll know that no scheme can help us – it’s our souls that count, not minds.

(By year 2070 or earlier, the Arctic could be entirely ice-free during summer. This would bring dramatic changes to the climate of the northern region of Earth...)
