Man lived in darkness.
Man discovered fire... man learned to fear fire.
Man discovered religion... man learned to fear religion.
Man discovered different tribes... man learned to fear
difference.
Man learned to reason... reason took away much of man's fears.
The universe blinked.
Man began to fear the loss of fear... fear kept man alive.
Man began to forsake reason for fear.
Man returned to darkness.
