Rome, the eternal (part 3).

 

It is hard to imagine a world where the persons of one of both sexes begin to be scarce. Something like that, might happen on a post-apocalyptic scenery. By that time, the human race would have its days numbered, unless the scientists get to develop some alternative method, to perpetuate our species. Or maybe mother nature itself, manage to find a way to modify our procreation ways. Before our very eyes, might be ocurring some of those changes, but are hard to notice, since they occur very slowly. But, is better to leave this, for the science fiction stories...

Don´t you think that it has always been easy for me to believe in Christmas, the Birth of our Redeemer´s commemoration. During my childhood, that idea of an infant God, was the most natural thing in the world. Gifts, candies, the joy of my early years, made of December a wonderful time. But, as reasoning opened our eyes, we began to think it over... it was not all happiness! In fact, we discovered that so many people never knew the slightest joy on a Christmas eve.
