The Rise and Fall of History, Separated by Just a Sheet of Paper

Other fringe tribes ended up destroying each other through internal conflicts. In this brutal survival competition, a few fringe tribes that survived ended up living disorganized and decadent lives, barely hanging on as inept factions, eventually being destroyed by new political forces with budding creativity. The emergence of successor states and the fall of empires were like the two sides of a sheet of paper; the fall of empires was an unshakable precursor to the fall of successor states.

The rise and fall of history are separated by just a sheet of paper. Even the fall and collapse of empires that once ruled their eras came down to internal conflicts. That is history, and that is the lesson history teaches us. Individual success and failure are also separated by a sheet of paper. There is always a precursor. We must not miss that precursor in order to survive and become the protagonists of a new era.
