By the waters of Babylon

Author: Stephen Vincent Benet
Do you believe we process information to fast? What is your view on technological advancements?
I don’t think we process information to fast maybe we apply the information to fast and dont realize what we're doing. I think it makes life easier, but because of that, we become lazy and mess stuff up.
Plot: Walked out of sight of the village and waited for a sign from the Gods on a rock, Went east following a white fawn, Through the forest and past the forest people, Walked the god roads and came to the banks of the great river, crossed the river to the Place of the Gods, Went north in the Place of the Gods, went into the great temple in the middle of the city, north toward dead houses, went inside a dead house, entered a dead room, slept in front of the fire, When back to his home in the hills
Questions:What year is this?
where is this?
Who were the gods?
why are these people so un-advanced?
Quote:
I said, “Father, they were men! I have been in the Place of the Gods and seen it! Now slay me, if it is the law- but still I know they were men.”
