There is, as ever there has been, too much darkness in this world of ours – too many threats for any one of us to face alone. So we learned, in time… To stand together, to fight side by side for what we have and what we crave.
It would be safe to assume that recent advances in technology have contributed, at least to a certain extent, to such forms of societal development. Freedom – it has become an inseparable, fundamental value to us, essential to the way we view the world. We have grown to love the ease of communication with people from around the globe; the liberty to access and share the combined knowledge of our species is today at our finger tips. But we have grown accustomed to such comforts. And we have grown complacent.
We assume that no one shall ever endeavour to deny us our freedom. We presume to believe that there are not those who would take our freedom – lock away both our distant brothers and sisters and the sum of human knowledge. Our knowledge. Do not forget, my dear, vociferous readers, that there will always be darkness in this world of ours. There are, as ever there shall be, people who crave, above all else, power and control over others – they would snatch away your freedom to see, hear and even think for yourself.
And they will, if we allow them. But I choose to believe that together we shall keep that light of love, liberty, respect and that desire for knowledge we all possess. We shall keep it burning. We will stand together, as one, for what we have and what we crave.
We shall face the darkness of this world. And prevail.
