Blood & Rain Episode 50: The Letters From The Ruins Blood & Rain

- Technology
The fall of man’s great civilizations is never seen as a cyclical circumstance for the men who live in the remains of their crumbled homes.
The only views these men have historically possessed are those of tragedy and of mourning, rooted in the finite endings of their former glorious homelands.
Yet, the fall mankind is experiencing now only manifests itself physically in small flashes.
The fall is more metaphysical and has to do with mankind.
Mankind itself is in ruins.
Mankind is in a state of void and limbo that is not consciously and clearly understood by its majority.
Yet one man can see in things visible and invisible, the ruins that surround mankind now.
But there is no gloom and sorrow in his being. Mourning is not his default temperament.
He writes to his fellow man about the cyclical nature of this fall of mankind.
He writes of these ruins as a foundation to rebuild a greater mankind.
He writes of these ruins as the catalyst of a post-modern Renaissance.
This is not a Renaissance of resurrecting a zeitgeist-laced, “former golden era,” in a futile attempt to recapture “what was lost.”
This is a Renaissance of understanding that frameworks not bound by time and space are what were forgotten in our fall.
These are the same frameworks that when honored, can rebuild a world with a far stronger integrity and an expression that is uniquely our own.
