Isn’t it amazing how those who walked this earth alongside us, breathing the same air, will be but distant echoes in the next 250 years? Yet, even 250 years ago, none among us were known, not even the most celebrated figures of our time. So why harbor envy or animosity towards that which was once nonexistent, and will soon fade away?
