The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
When war swarmed the earth, there was no end in sight. Meaningless bloodshed and death leaving the great mother earth eternally scarred. Leaders seeking more power, more land, more greed. They used their advanced technology to build weapons that kill their own kind.But one day we looked up from the blood,the death,the dirt and up unto the stars, Yearning and seeking new realms and new possibilities, a place where we could grow, expand and prosper. United in a shared division, a common goal. Humanity realized that this once great planet is now too small, too many souls and so little a world. So we sought other worlds, worlds that were once impossible to reach but with the combined determination and technology of humanity it was possible.
We sought worlds where can escape our nature of destruction and live peacefully. Worlds where we could progress and learn. But the worlds we found were never enough, never enough to satisfy our age old instincts of war. Speed and Distance did nothing to seperate us from our nature. Ancient Resentments reemerge and history began it's terrible repitition. And once again man fought man. Like bacteria hatred and violence was always lurking inside us, seeking freedom and no matter how much we try to suppress it, it just fought harder to get out.
Human kind always looked to the stars, to the heavens for answers. And while the galaxy revealed us few answers, it was more than willing to confront you with more questions. Some answers humanity will have to regret getting.
