Learning to appreciate

Distance is what keeps us appart but what also keeps us together.
Thanks to this distance we learn to appreciate more what we have, what we share and what makes our connection unique.
This appreciation stems from technology (I specifically opted not to write "modern", because I believe that technology can be medieval

or modern only because we relate it to our present time).
As a whole, technology has its own identity and the power to change the world from different points of view, at certain moments in history.
Because sometimes we somehow end up to go to these places where time has stopped and everything looks almost exactly like it's 1232 all over again.

But since we are aware of the present, the surroundings tend to be a little bit uncommon (not my ideal choice of word) compared to what we are used to. And it is only when we step further into the narrow alleyways

that we start to take it all in: a late gothic style with different messages from the present



which has a certain atmosphere,

a mix between a bit of fear, darkness

but also enjoyment, blisfullness and comfortability at the same time.

We don't know it yet (or we know it but we tend to forget), but technology made it possible... possible to explore further the world we live in, possible to make a profit, possible to better our lives and go beyond frontiers in order to connect with others and further the development of our present day.
We just have to (still) learn to be aware of the complexity and the ethics behind every type of technology that we might discover, invent, develop or even forget that we have.
