a balanced perspective – v2

both true in a way

exploration and exploitation

looking at history

both right, correct

depending on the perspective

the ones discovering

seeking their fortune

the ones greeting

unaware what was to come

both of them right

from their perspective

needing balance

between the extremes

but not forgetting what happened
