Fear

I felt fear at the Parthenon in Athens, Greece when I went there this past summer. Not because I’m scared of the spirits that could be lurking there but because I’m intimidated by it. It was completed in 432 BC which is incredible that it is still standing here today but that is exactly what scares me. All around Greece you can find historical sights and artifacts from over 2000 years back. This scares me because I don’t think that our generation will ever have anything still standing 2000+ years from now that will show who we were. When I went to Greece I didn’t suddenly know everyone who lived there in the past but I was able to see how incredible their people were and I fear that we won’t make an impact like that in our world. The Greeks have managed to make such a lasting impression in our society and I fear that all that will be remembered from our time will be the bad things that are happening currently in North America. I fear that we will never be able to make an impression on this earth and our whole society will be forgotten.
