The fence

These are historical dynamics. Like stretched elastic bands, energy released, tracing an arc, entropy on the other side of the apex. WWII was just about the apex, or perhaps the entirety of the 20th century, if you ask my humble imagination... We're on our way out of the prison. These things just take time—and depending on clock reckoning, are either interminably slow, or occur in a flash. The occur in a flash quip is perhaps cold comfort to the mind of an individual who suffers from the now, now, but perhaps it can at least be balm to anxieties we might carry within ourselves traumatized by over fears for the generations of all tomorrow. Just as there is great joy which occurs in the lives of grown people and children alike today—and the moments of joy are always that–moments, and it is up to us to make them count and to keep them on our hearts and memories—so too shall there be great joys in the lives of children and full grown people all through tomorrow. Just as there shall always be sorrows amid the enterings into and passings from the mortal coil which is life and physical resonance, there shall always also be that which is worthwhile.        
       
A child at play today knows no more or less joy then a child at play 30,000 years ago or a child at play 30,000 years from now. Our perspectives are so small and limited by human lifespan. It's so hard to remember.      
       
There are extent musical instruments, 30,000 plus years older than any of our books, retrieved from their resting places in the strata of the earth by archeologists, scientists, people seeking understanding, like anyone else, for the purposes of informing tomorrow

Mortal Coil : Revebratory thing which is life, kind of like that elastic band. Coils run dynamos

Fascinating insights, I'm glad it got you thinking!
