People are 'Makers' or 'Takers'. The vast Majority are Sheep. They are the Takers.
They live their lives in fear. They do the Minimum to achieve enough to keep themselves and their children alive.
Sure, they have dreams 'Frivolous dreams' and no drive or ambition.
Their lives are brutality punctuated by moments of pleasure, and the height of their contribution to mankind's survival is their ability to donate genetic material, nothing more.
We are the Makers or Shepherds. We are the one who set goals, who assemble the workforce who use our material capital to create something of nothing.
Without the Makers, Humankind would still be living in Caves, clad in skins with their big fear being the fire going out...
- Gears of war Ephyra Rising.
I just finished the book, I really enjoyed the premise. 'What happened months after GOWIII's ending? What did Anya, Marcus and the rest do? Will they meet some forgotten people? Are their still some locust left or are people making those stories up?
If you are into Gears it is fun to read :).
