Atomic Age

By: Gabriela Yareliz

We always live in a time that is a consequence to previous times and actions, and the present day actions will have consequences of their own, too.

As we all wait to see what comes next, I was reminded of C.S. Lewis’ powerful words about living in the atomic age:

“If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things-praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts-not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.”
