Choice—Response. What happens after response? What happens in the dash? After response: re-entry, ever-after, the larger challenge.

I tell stories
I write poems
So you do better ones

Has human nature changed over the years? Is it just that our choices are similar across generations, and this gives us the illusion of no change? Or maybe our lack of historical perspective? We have built upon the landscape cities and states and tribes which give us ever increasing and nuanced kingdoms to try to control. Have we learned? Have we progressed? Population compression and experiencing more of our diversity and similarity in diversity has given us a little larger view, a skosh more compassion: we can be optimistic. Progress is glacial. The fact that we can see the 10 Commandments as anachronistic and simplistic says there is progress; the fact that we see them as difficult in real life shows how slow is this progress.
