Earth sure goes round and round!!

For humans, earth is this place to excel, to improvise and go forward. Just like a little race like the one in Olympics. The ideas and the knowledge are this torches that are passed on from generation to generations. Or like this relay races, where one generation passes the baton to the next generation, and the next generation hopes to do the same as the time comes. That's how the race is done here on earth by humans.

Well if earth was straight and had an The-End-Road, I would have said the race was valid. But its as round as the race course itself. Now aint it be funny if the guy passing the relay stood over the very place. And in a while the others on his team would bring the same baton back to him. Well however faster he tries to run, even if he changes his two-dimensioned paths, he will reach the very same place he began with, well maybe a little more tired than the previous attempt. Well the only thing we are losing on are energies, where is the progress??
