Today is a Day Nothing Like The World Has Ever Seen Before. | Lamed Vav- 36 People Save The World: "The seeds for our planets destruction,

Have been planted long ago.

That perhaps only a handful of people could even hope to understand.

Call it a fable, myth, or legend, if you prefer,

Yet the steadfast true believers, who quietly exist,

Understand that the concept has it’s roots,"
