History tells us all great nations rise and fall from man’s insatiable need for conquest driven by blood thirst and ambition. We can either learn from history and change, or be doomed to repeat the cycle again and again.
From Babylonia to Rome, the greatest empires in the world once thought unconquerable had one thing in common, their demise. The pattern is clear, they all irrefutably fell from grace and power. History of ancient civilizations tells us all great nations rise and fall from man’s apparently insatiable need for conquest driven by blood thirst and ambition, eventually becoming drunk and blind with power. We can either learn from history and change as a collective, or be doomed to repeat the cycle again and again.
