You preserved the light of Logos amid a world of darkness.
You fought off the Persians, the Huns, the Muslim armies, the Mongols and the Soviet Union.
You conquered the entire world, and rather than exterminate us, you gave us your civilization.
You painted images, crafted sculptures and made music no one else could.
You made the Roman Empire AND you destroyed it.
You gave the world literally every technology we use, including the phone I'm typing this on and the burger joint I'm sitting in.
You understood the world through mathematics and the sciences.
Your gaze PIERCED THE HEAVENS, then to cap that off, you made ships to VENTURE THERE!
You explored and mapped every corner of this world. You made it possible for the peoples of the world to know one another.
You are a Promethean people, my friend. You are CLEARLY beloved of the Great Spirit.
Have faith in yourselves. You will not disappear from the Book of Life.
