Human beings have evolved from unicellular organisms into creatures of intelligence who are capable of making inventions and building cities. In the future, we may even evolve enough to understand and control the very fabric of our universe. However, throughout the course of our history and even in the present, the one quality of human beings that repeatedly brings us trials and failures is our myopia. We are, in the most frustratingly debilitating manner, quite short-sighted.
Regardless of how much knowledge or information we possess, we can never predict the exact outcome of any situation. On one hand, this means that humanity can afford to hope and be optimistic about the future. On the other hand, it means that we can only know the negative implications that a choice may bring while in the process of experiencing them.
