It should be the best of times, never the worst of times.

It should be the age of optimism for the present and a healthy hope for the future.

It should be the epoch of Truth and Justice.

It should be the Season of Light and Light only.

It should be the time of the Awakening of Humanity.

It should bloom a Spring of Hope, not a Winter of Nuclear Tactical Deterrents.

It should be a Time of Wisdom, Generosity, and Political Honesty.

It should be when we have everything before us, and nothing remains behind us.

True, We must understand that we have nothing left behind to support our backs.

It should be a Happy Civilization with all the amazing discoveries, inventions, and developments such as Generative AI, CRISPR-based treatments

Electric cars, Robots, Solar Power Efficiency, Mixed-Reality Headsets

Geothermal Energy, Next-Gen Pain Drugs, The Internet, Social Media Platforms

Speed, Communication, Medical Care, Cyber Defense, Advanced Biotechnology

Exploration of the Outer Space, Colonization of the Moon and Mars.

And an endless list, all creations to make of this, a better world.

In sum, with all that, we should live in the Kingdom of Respect, and today, humanity should live in the best times ever.

Yet, we don’t, and conversely, what we are doing is sailing adrift in a Sea of Paradoxes.

Indeed, until we learn to be true to ourselves and share our welfare with all inhabitants of the Earth, I say unto you, we live in The Era of Darkness.
