There was a time not long ago when none of these streets were paved… when none of this track was laid… when none of this technology even existed in mind…
A time when people couldn’t casually fly and ride to destinations hundreds—even thousands—of miles away with a few taps on a screen… for the price of a few days of work… for no reason but to explore other pieces of land…
It’s easy to forget.
…Not only to not take it for granted, but to fully utilize what’s miraculously here. Don’t you realize what you have the opportunity to do? Don’t you realize what day and age you’re actually living in? Don’t you realize how many hundreds—even thousands—of generations had to suffer, innovate, and create to get you here?
…Or are you distracted and/or being restricted?
It’s easy to forget.
