a rural chinese train station . there was a time when the whole world knew of nothing more modern . later , so much more . today , humanity lives at the crossroads . we live in a world where poor pay for the rich , and transportation has flourished . in some countries there are those who have never travelled by bus , yet are comfortable in cars . furthermore there are those who surely would never travel a long distance by car ; and trains are mere objects in museums . planes are the only way . business , economy and first class . every amenity is well known and advertised . some pay higher prices for their ticket than others . those in first class more often pay less . or possibly pay more and give less s is giving and contributing always the same s in the value of days , from birth to death , do those with the longest , hardest , physically demanding , and stressful work weeks , or with no jobs at all get awarded the first class air tickets s or are they perhaps on the back of those buses , that those in first class air have never flown s while some may pay cash , and others pay credit , there will always be those who play gold , platinum , and other classes of credit card . different classes of credit cards for different classes of people . most of our humanities classes will never have first class . yet , behind todays gold cards there is a whole third world who will pay the balance for each class of ticket and each mode of traffic they will never themselves know . as planes may fly occasionally overhead , the sound of the train will always be best known . when will humanity progress as fast as the means for the few s ? |
