A future fantasy is no more than vain hope
With wishful minds for which we grope
I’d rather improve my current scope
To an upward trend from a downward slope

-Omar Khayyam

Thanks for sharing that - the verse has good meaning for me right now.

My mother is a huge fan of Omar Khayyam - she was always reading his poetry to us when we were young.

No, our times are really not so different. Humanity has this endlessly repetitive cycle...with greater sophistication each time around :( Nice to see you back on the blog! :)
