"Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases
And never tip his golden cup empty towards the moon!
Since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed."
The issue of mankind’s inherent doom has been the most favorite of our cynical fellowmen.
Their case for forsaken morals and damaged resources is so convincing that one ends up believing them and their oh-so-cheerful take on life.
Just what is wrong with the world now?
Are we not at the highest we have ever been? Can those stuck up traditionalists not see that?
Can they point to any other time in history when a single man had the intelligence, power and ability to literally move the world and some more if only he chose to?
After years of letting outmoded codes bind him down , man has broken free.
He can now choose to dictate his own codes and have other men respect him for it
What all of us have to understand is what is new need not necessarily be wrong.
Just look back at History, you will evidence of this at every step.
If early man had not allowed his settling instincts to well settle, we would still be playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, wild boars & the big cats .And back then settling wasn’t even a smart or safe idea. Yet man dared and won. And he did not stop there. The wheel of civilization rolled down the centuries. Clans and kingdoms formed, warred & perished. The ones who dared to move ahead did just that and the ones who choose to hold on to what they had always known got stranded in their own times to be put down as half remembered names in dusty old books.
A new kind of life calls for a change in every aspect of living. It is only natural that when the pivot swivels, the balance shifts. Morals are not being lost with change , they are being redefined.
Those who cannot see this are those blinded by fear. Accepted, fear has been a strong influence in men’s lives, for the better as well as worse. But when we let fear destroy our reasoning powers and bog us down , we know we’re in big trouble.
A few moments of clear thinking will tell anyone , change is inevitable. It is the law of life. Men were not born to stagnate, they were born to evolve. We did not brave the primal jungles, hunting predators , rival tribes, attacking enemy kingdoms and warring nations just to forget how to fight and degenerate into unreasonable animals.
A true Man does not know inaction , he knows progress. And we must not let anyone turn us from that path. The only choice we have in the matter is to ride the waves of Time or be washed over. What would You rather choose?

hoorray for change! See this is excatly wat the foggys in school dnt wantbus to tell the kids...theyre scared we'll stir them up into rebellion too...they've had enough with us being rebels without a cuase(so they think)..but never mind if mj the bitch didnt publish...we have other ways to get to the world...rock on i say!
i completely agree; but i'd like to make one small comment: i fel, the morals aren't even being redefined, just flashed around differently; given different degrees of importance - for example, men and women have been gallivanting around in all ages, and it's always been considered as an act of loose moral fibre. in the stone age, it was done openly, and was sort of normal, sort of like survival of the human race, in ancient times, it was terrible, and people who did it were incesantly talked about; in the middle ages, it was hidden from the eyes of the world, and given the tag of 'shameful act' (people were stoned and killed for it, if they were caught), and now in the modern world, it's done openly again - the point is, it's always been done, and it's always been a silly thing to do before you're old enough to do it, but the way it's been treated is different, and i guess, we have to admit, asininely so...
