The War of the Worlds
The War of the Worlds
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What remains when humanity's arrogance as the apex of creation crumbles?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Following the sight of London being trampled helplessly by unseen, unknown beings, I felt a spine-chilling dread. Wells meticulously depicts not a simple alien invasion but the horrifying terror of humanity, sunk in imperial arrogance, being reduced overnight to a paltry, insignificant creature. It was a weighty and chilling warning that asks how thin the foundation is on which the everyday and the safety net of civilization we took for granted truly stand.
— ONGO · Curator
"Human affairs were being watched keenly and closely, as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water."H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds
"인류는 돋보기 아래의 미생물처럼 무심하고 면밀하게 관찰당하고 있었다."
🌱Apply It Today
Today, reflect humbly on whether you've shown any human arrogance toward those weaker than you or toward the familiar world around you.
