TWO WORLDS, ONE PEOPLE

We live in two worlds, or so it seems. One world is bright and shiny with hope for the future. It’s glass and steel with clean, clear surfaces. Shades of blue light sparkle between the dreams of the builders and us, the visitors. That’s one world. Looks good, smells good, feels good.

FIRST YOU SCREW UP, THEN THE FALLOUT

When you screw up, you know it. At least you should know. Something is broken, or lost, or stolen because of you? After that the decisions start to pile up. Tell others what happened? Admit to your self? Or, pretend nothing happened, nothing to see, and move along. Which one are you?

MAN’S FAILURE TO THINK DENIES HUMAN EVOLUTION? ASK JOHN STEINBECK
