We were once frightened animals in the dark. Now, we are a great hive, drawing in all sides into a great cacophony of concentrated systematic activity, where each man is a cell in a great luminescent organism. Somewhere in between, we were people, true individual souls, bonded through mutual custom, divided by tribe and nation, striving against nature and each other rather than merely jostling for position. That struggle was life, in a visceral and corporeal sense. And it still exists in many parts of the world, though it is rapidly vanishing.
