Yesterday, after sprinting to the bus on recently filled stomachs, we made our way by bus to UWTSD Lampeter campus. We were greeted off the bus Nick and Lucci with big smiles and an invitation to Starbucks. They brought us into their library where we opened a very important dialogue: Harmony.

We discussed the future and what it holds. The benefits, dangers, and everything in between. It all climaxed with the establishment of a dichotomy between narratives. It is often portrayed that the future is desolate. We have no control and there is no hope. But this is not the case. If we continue to think this is our future, then it will be our future. The narrative needs to change to one of bluer skies. The story must be rewritten. And as Nick and Lucci told us, the pen is now in the hand of our generation. It is our responsibility to draft a better chapter than the last. However, how we reach this harmony will continue to be widely debated. Some will bring the views of Socrates and Homer, while others will bring the disciplines of chemistry and statistics. The critical message, though, is that we must work together. We must have the discussion. As told to us, the ideas must be stretched out, stomped on, and thrown around the room. We keep what remains and move forward.

We must not stop writing our chapter.
