imagine living during a time where a police force didn’t even exist.

imagine the culture you lived in was that you have as many kids as possible and hopefully none of them were girls, or at least just a few girls, like jacob who had twelve boys.

humanity is slowly leaving behind ancient stories of a god who created adam and eve and punished their children for eating the forbidden produce.
