Humanity is defined by it’s ever-growing nature. Each generation strives to be better than the last. It is shameful to be told, “you’re the same as ever” because it implies a lack of growth. It implies stagnation. It implies death. And there is nothing that a human fears more than death.
And yet, she wanted to go back. Back to the time before she knew ‘society’. Before she knew ‘people’. Back to the time when she simply existed in nature, as purely and simply as any other animal. How strange it seemed to the others. A desire to ‘regress’, as they believed. But it’s not so easy. Not when the blood that runs through your vein is the very symbol of the pinnacle of human progress and the glory of Society itself.
Man.... I’m tired.
