I love these sentiments. The idea that if humanity finally looked upon itself and saw what we he had become, that we could change. If the energies spent on war and hate could be shifted to the development of new technologies, new thoughts and new people then we could truly exist in a golden age of humanity. An age of progression, ascension from our island prison into the vast sea of light ahead. Tales spread throughout the galaxy of the Human Empire, of it's rise like a phoenix from the gluttony of it's ancestors. If humanity saw itself, we could achieve goals far beyond our current frame of mind, for what man can dream, man can do.
