THE WHEEL

In the beginning, Humans were quite well off untill someone with too much free time invented the WHEEL. The wheel made the world smaller. Not literally, but from the point of view of people which was already quite distorted from eating, sleeping and hitting each other on the head with stone. Not that it has changed but people these days prefer WMDs.

The wheel made it possible to travell long distances fast. This led to the exchange of ideas. People with difference in ideas got new reason to fight one another. Diseases spread like forest fire. You can blame god for that. When people where infected they undertook pilgrimage to distant places thinking that the disease was a curse aznd only god could cure them. This resulted in the spread of diseases to those places and in this way a vicious circle was set up.
