Pastoral

We are all descended from pastoral people at some point in our family lineage. Over time, small bands of migratory people grew and settled down. Those settlements sparked further growth, which created systems of economics, theology, and governance that helped ensure a nominal level of security for their inhabitants. Naturally, more and more people wanted that stability, so those settlement turned to townships, then cities, and eventually into the megalopolises we have today, which puts humanity into a precarious position because if we are not careful our cities will become the cancerous tumors that ultimately consume our planet until everything we have have built becomes its own destroyer.
