The Shoulders of Giants

For a hundred thousand years, 8000 generations of humans have struggled. They lived and died for their children, their species, and ultimately, for us. In comparison to living at nature's mercy - for, again, a hundred thousand years - where every storm was divine wrath, every sunset might be the last, and tomorrow's hunger was the only certainty - our problems are negligible. We have to honor our ancestors struggle. Their sacrifice. And be ready to make our own sacrifices. For the next 8000 generations.
