To the earth, millennia-old etchings might count as ephemera left behind by an ephemeral people, who were once thought to be extinct only to be reborn centuries later.

How to avoid cynicism:
Act in ways opposite to your instinct. If you hate something, find out more about it. Again ask 'What is this?', 'Who made this?', 'Who is this for?' Genuinely. Never stop doing this"
