Passage:

As I write this essay, I am overwhelmed by what human beings can accomplish given time and space. As I look through my window, planes are flying over smoke that lazily ascends from the industries beneath them; vehicles fill every available space along the streets as the news reports another successful rocket launch on its mission to the Mars, If only the views of the unborn mind could be trusted, I would have been born centuries earlier. In the current world that is driven by fear over global climate changes, global warming, global economic recession, global terrorism amidst a host of many other global concerns, I cannot help but bury my head in the peaceful moments experienced only during the dinosaur’s age. Though that age is considered by many as having been uncivilized and backward, the generations lived in a serene, enclosed and self-contained environment. For example, a cure for most of the human health challenges was at reach within the households' unpolluted gardens and the weapons of mass destruction did not exist
