What’s “Drama” Got To Do With Anything?
I know some of you who have found The Humanity Project website for the first time must wonder: “What’s the deal with this thing they call ‘A Human Drama’ anyway? Isn’t it just this strange, dark, weird story or something? How come that’s part of a nonprofit group that wants to help make humanity better?”
Good and fair questions. The answer, briefly, is this: Because “A Human Drama” can help you experience someone else’s successful battle to improve their life. A very intense, dramatic, exciting battle. And through that experience, you’re more likely to understand how to conquer your own demons. That fits perfectly into our mission: helping society become healthier and saner by helping individuals find ways to become healthier and saner. Changing the world, one person at a time. “A Human Drama” offers our web readers a tried and true way to learn – through a story. Art has always been used as a teaching tool. It just happens that our story is being told using an ambitiously original technique created for the Internet, which we call “a webtale,” and is also conceived as a very large-scale work. We think those are big pluses for our readers.
Right now, the story in “A Human Drama” has just begun. We recently posted the third and fourth chapters, which we call cantos out of respect for Dante’s classic work, “The Divine Comedy.” (Our story is a modern version of a trip from hell to purgatory to paradise. Dante’s journey began in a hell inside the earth. Our journey starts in a hell inside a human mind.) But please remember, there will be 100 chapters when this is all done. The work is appearing as a serial, two chapters at a time, with each new chunk of our story bringing the main character one step closer to a much better life. The story right now is, yes, dark and strange because it opens as our character suffers an intense emotional crisis, with his own worst fears and problems literally springing up all around him. Trust us, though – things will go from terrifying to better to amazingly good. He has a long ways to travel and a lot to learn but, even now, our story offers readers some encouragement and humor and inspiration along the way.
It takes time to write these poetic pieces, and more time to get them produced by our talented web designers. But I hope you’ll read through the first four cantos of “A Human Drama,” more than once ideally. You’ll begin to see where we’re taking you, I think. And as you more clearly understand our intent with this wild story, you’ll be able to sit back relax and enjoy the ride. In addition to helping you learn some things about yourself, “A Human Drama” will be a lot of fun to read as well. Please check it out. And please, tell your friends. – RSK
