@rmatthewsimmons It's an interesting topic you've chosen to write about, i'm quite excited to read more.  I do agree man will always destroy what is beautiful but it isn't always out of greed.  Sometimes it is pure ignorance and i find that the sadest of all, especially when a small number try to educate people on it.  I think the overlap of religous elements would make it all the more thought provoking even if there is no intention of being religous.  Religon or non religon almost always plays a part in history.

@sundayafternoon Thank you. As the story progresses beyond Chapter 4 the 'absolute beauty' theme plays itself out a bit more as both a historical concept as well as a comment on how mankind goes out of its way to destroy all that is beautiful for their self serving greed. Perhaps there's a bit of religious overtones to it and one could read in 'Adam and Eve' into the 'historical' nature of the story, but it wasn't written as so as I'm not a religious person. But it does intrigue me within the context of this piece.
          Eventually, Book 3 will be a full historical look at the Children of The Sun and tie in Book 1 about Gretel and Book 2 about Peter.
          
          The point of all this: Don't ever give up. Even when it's 11pm, you've had way too much coffee and your eyes burn.
