A rural Chinese train station. Peasants waiting in lobby for train through remote undeveloped countryside in Southwest China
A rural Chinese train station There was a time when the whole world knew of nothing more modern Later so much more Today humanity lives at the crossroads We live in a world where poor pay for the rich and transportation has flourished In some countries there are those who have never travelled by bus yet are comfortable in cars Furthermore there are those who surely would never travel a long distance by car and trains are mere objects in museums Planes are the only way Business economy and first class Every amenity is well known and advertised Some pay higher prices for their ticket than others Those in first Class more often pay less Or possibly pay more and give less Is giving and contributing always the same In the value of days from birth to death do those with the longest hardest physically demanding and stressful work weeks or with no jobs at all get awarded the first class air tickets Or are they perhaps on the back of those buses that those in first class air have never flown While some may pay cash and others pay credit there will always be those who play gold platinum and other classes of credit card Different classes of credit cards for different classes of people Most of our humanities classes will never have first class Yet behind today s gold cards there is a whole third world who will pay the balance for each class of ticket and each mode of traffic they will never themselves know As planes may fly occasionally overhead the sound of the train will always be best known When will humanity progress as fast as the means for the few
