Tasteless mirrors

We like to believe that we stand at the top of the food chain; that we dictate the route for the world and call for order to counteract the chaos of our environment. 

Yet, it is only that, a belief. 

My fellow men, we are but ants. What power do we have against falling from a tall building or a rocky mountain? How do we survive in the depths of the sea or the emptiness of space? Can we spend more than a couple of weeks without drinking water? We can thank evolution for our industrious and curious minds. We have engineered our way through our problems. 

And still, we are born to eventually die. We live within the fabric of our society, for each of us serves a purpose. 

Yes, we will die. But our progress will keep on existing. 

We will continue to survive and thrive, no matter what since our consciousness makes it impossible for humans to quit trying regardless of the odds against us. There will always be a will to survive.
