We've Come So Far!

I'm sitting at my desk here in the office when an epiphany of human evolution dawns on me. Even though we were not there to experience the beginning of time, we have this wonderful thing called "history" that replays for us what life for the first humans looked like 2 billion years ago.

Think about the long way we've come! Evolving from dense-minded homo sapiens, where language was comprised of crude sounds and stick figures, we've evolved into well-mannered, cultured professional human beings. Did you know that there are over 6700 languages worldwide? We've developed intelligence, vanity and countless skill-sets. We've built cities, technology and the list goes on... We've created both great and horrible things, and at least they all have names and we have the ability to judge whether they're good or bad.

If you ever feel discouraged, I think it's time to commend ourselves for the long way we've come. Some may arguably say that the simpler life back in the day is better, but here we are and we should make the most of what we have. Whether we've had a good or bad day, we should pat ourselves on the back and strive on making tomorrow even better!
