Let your eyes wander into the distance. Now you pick up sounds from afar, from all things within earshot, loud and clear, as if they were near. As if? They're close, are they not? You're here, so is everything you hear. One little noise-maker among others you are. And sound travels far. How far the horizon reaches, in fact, doesn't depend on clear skies and good viewing conditions. Weather won't stop at borders. War never happens elsewhere. We inhabit the same terrain as everyone exposed to its force, today. War's memory won't fade, as life continues. Cruelly, it does. For why would Earth give a damn? Wreaking havoc on its surface never got us closer to its core...full concept
