Well, some of us do. It’s that fundamental human urge to travel ever onwards. A river of life thing, bound with the laws of the universe, where time travels only forwards and where we can never go back.
It’s the opposite of stasis. A word that speaks to us of stagnation. A moribund state of mind, unhealthy and dull. Much better for the human spirit to feel that satisfaction of leaving this world a better place than we entered it. Whatever drives us, it’s a potent spirit, insatiable and indomitable. Science and politics, art and technology. Whatever the field of human endeavour, change is the only constant.
