I was once looking at a picture of the great wall of China. Ever seen that thing?
Like a never-ending snake-monster, winding its way over mountains and valleys for miles and miles and miles. Over 5,500 miles in all!
Can you imagine being one of the slaves forced to build it?
Standing on mountain number 1, and looking out trying to see mountain #120,000; the final destination, must have been soul destroying.
But they did it, didn't they?
One brick at a time.
And they created one of the seven wonders of the world.
Something which has outlived them, and the Chinese Empire itself!
Simply by concentrating on one brick,
and then the next.
What we are trying to build is much longer than 5,500 miles.
And it will last much longer than a few thousand years.
We're building eternity
One abstention at a time.
