Accidentals: Gifted by Time

      We are living in a captivating slice of time. Somehow humanity manages to hold the sweet and sour, bitter and joyous, wondrous and amazing!
      This time is a lucky one. We still remember. We remember the good and the bad mini universes created by a singular period preceding our own: the World War.
      We are now capable, perhaps because of colonization (or its impact for that matter) of condemning the actions of, once daily realities of some, wars. Inhuman wars. Nevertheless, the very history we resent was a massive driving force to further our scientific knowledge and well-being! The irony of WWII, especially, is that had it not happened, the aviation industry would most certainly not be what it is today.
      Furthermore, we are in an era, where we have finally realized discrimination is not only unjust, but also inhuman. We shed the teachings of our forefathers. We build our own utopia. We condemn discrimination against people of different colors, people with psychological conditions, people with other religious choices, or even personal interests.
      Humanity has grown to be more human! We've come a long way, at least in the US. Some of us are further than others. We made it thus far, and we will continue to push forward.
