"The Fault, Dear Brutus......."

We used to be explorers.



Somewhere along the way, it became more important to look inward than outward, to be self absorbed, self interested, self aggrandizing, self serving, to fixate on building newer and bigger and more grandiose stadiums to watch grown men play games instead of fixing our eyes on the next star and the one after that and the one after that , to bail out greedy and/or incompetent corporations and banks and other businesses instead of sailing out to places and spaces yet to be discovered, to give up looking up with imaginations filled with possibilities and take up keeping up with Kardashians.

To turn our backs on our better angels, as our vision became, and becomes, ever more myopic with each passing day.

Rather than seek out the next horizon, because that's what we do.

Or used to.
