What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Is that a hint of something military and historical in the background? I have often wondered what humanity would have developed and built if the resources devoted to military purposes had been invested in peaceable development. Would it be more or less? So much of what we enjoy in civil life has roots in military research, including medical advances.
Hari OM I am inclinced to agree that just about every decent advance in 'civilisation' has been due to the needs brought about either by impending war - or major disaster. Which is why it defeats me why we aren't further ahead with adjusting to lifestyles that reflect the climate doom ahead of us...(as a whole and not individuals, that is.) Yxx
Excellent illustration!
