Prologue
The sages of Kabbalah ask, “Who is wise?” And they answer, “Those who see the consequences of their actions.”
A wise person’s understanding penetrates to the root level of what is happening now. He or she does not have to wait for the future to transpire in order to see it clearly. They can see the fully-grown tree in the seed.
Practically speaking, this means thinking before we speak and act. It means considering consequences. It means acting with awareness.
Today, imagine what possible effects, both negative and positive, could come out of your actions. Think wise before you act.
Quote by: Yehuda

Quoted by: Friedrich Nietzsche
-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
America, the ruling nation of the 20th century, is sitting at the top of the world. The innocent and non-innocent a like walk around in their daily lives as they wake up in the morning, some part off to school, others to work, or some stay at home. They are a nation full of people that lived everyday of their lives in safety. In the morning as the everyday person would rush off to their daily tasks, they sometimes hear that somewhere off in Asia, millions of people die in a tsunami. In the Middle East some where, thirty people shopping at a market that day died from a terrorist bombing. Or in Europe, in a train station somewhere, a few hundred people died in an earthquake that caved in the underground station. As Americans, we go on with our daily lives not caring what we hear on the news. We are occupied by our own thoughts of a final exam; a presentation needed to be given today, a big date that night. Whatever the case is, we are too occupied by our own lives to care about what is going on around us. Nothing seems to matter in the eyes of the American people. Only when something hits home do we come together and unite as one and start to think of others. But like all ruling nations of the past, it falls. How? America the land of plenty, land of the free. As all nations of the past, America too had an enemy that will, at any cost, make its capital fall. One summer hot morning out of nowhere it began.
On the west cost people were just waking up as the people on the east and in the middle of the country were already on with there day routine. The sunrise spread a shot of pink and orange through the sky. The wired combination made the sunrise interesting to watch each morning. Some people were rising to the new workday and some where already at work. Movie theaters started to open, the hospital was busy as ever, and across the nation breakfast was still being serve. As it reached the 6:00 hour the news was beginning the traffic or re-playing the traffic report. On the west cost the heat started to intensify as the sun broke thought the clouds in the sky. Traffic on the freeway to L. A. was crowded as usual. If you were heading to L. A. you had to leave extra early in the morning. Early flights in and out of the West Coast were as busy as ever. California was in particular a busy state, kids and collage students were off to school, people were off to work too, but as the daily morning was going on as any normal day, suddenly loud bombings and noises were going on. Some were smart enough to turn to a newsstation weather on t. v. or on the radio, while the slower ones still sat in wonder about the noise. As the bombings increase, helicopters and war plains bombing the streets appear over head, the slower ones tuned into there local news stations as they went for cover. While the smarter ones already found cover or were about to get under cover. News everywhere flashed and yelled, "THE NATIONS UNDER ATTACK!" People were running for safety. The bombing became more intensified in the hours as the leading country of the world fell to its knees. The government tried to fight back but most of the artillery had been destroyed by the third wave of bombings. After the bombings, the Xeno airplanes began to drop military men not of this country. They roamed every street in America, blowing them selves up in civilian areas; they shot the individual survivor they saw roaming around. They set off all types of toxic gas that hurt people including the major one nerve gas. The rumors spread fast that they were there to kill any survivors. The smarter luckier ones found solitude in hidden areas and gathered together. Soon after America other nations soon met their fate the same way as well. No one was safe from the gorilla attacks.
After a few months the survivors of the big bombing of America came out of their hiding places to form or cultivate their country again. By this time the Neo America started to form again. And from here are story truly begins.
