'A World Where The Mighty Prevail And Suffering Will Be Forgotten'

Over our lifetime, we all come to believe that evolution creates the need for adaptation.
'A World Where The Mighty Prevail And Suffering Will Be Forgotten'

Our planet has been through a series of major documented evolutions over billions of years. Since this time-space journey sounds infinite, I will try and peg something relevant as a milestone, which was the extinction of dinosaurs about 66 million years ago; relevant to the extent that my children and now grandchildren seem to still remember the names of several of these species and many businesses have made significant profits thematically illustrating a primitive past that could one day return. Other than that, for most people, the history of the world throughout the Stone Age (2.6 million years ago), the Bronze Age (3100 BC) or the Iron Age (1200 BC) through to the start of the ‘Plastic Age’, has little or no meaning. We are so caught up in the ‘now’ that neither the past nor the future, to most, seems to matter. Subtle nudges from nature, including but not limited to heat and cold waves, earthquakes, typhoons and even COVID-19, have largely been ignored and subordinated in the pursuit of dominance, greed and materialism.
