During the twentieth century, many changes occurred in this world. And these changes per se, are those that people from the past could never even have imagined. Who would have thought that the dark ages would end and that the crusades would achieve something?, who would have predicted that the Holy Roman Empire would have such a great fall? Well, shame on the people who said that man cannot fly. Thanks to those who were brave enough to explore the depths of the sea, that we have discovered such amazing treasures hidden under the blue.
Indeed, men have immeasurable capabilities and the power to change this world. The past, present, and the future of this world lie on the hands of each and every person who are born, living, and even those who have perished. As time passed by, men have learned so many things. They were able to surpass every living creature, from soaring birds, running bison, surging sharks, and others far beyond our imagination. To start with, humans have put up a good use of their intelligence. Their way of living has become easy compared to others who have to fight and work for survival. However, what has become of our immeasurable capabilities? Because of the advancement of science, the modern world has fused itself with a machine, therefore, putting a limit to every person’s capabilities. Mankind has become too dependent on technology. Men aren’t meant to be like this! Men were born without satisfactions. Men are supposed to live their lives without contentment. We need to desire for more. We should give a great meaning to our existence. Our clepsydra has moved. We better get out of the machine empire.
People don't only live to be happy, but to give meaning to their existence. A machine's ability and power has a limit, but the power of the human heart is immeasurable. So, by fusing your body with a machine, you've already put a limit to your ability. Each and everyone of us has a piece of the sun within our hearts we are just not aware of it. We can shine on our own without asking light from others. Each of us has an immeasurable power. -Based from my favorite anime, B't X
