Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

In this reading the author is expressing his point of view in the evolution of human being and society. Evolution is a beautiful process that makes everyday life exciting, but comes along with negative features. What makes evolution a reality is actually human dreams and desires. Nothing of what we have today would be possible without the intention and pursue of our antecessors. Unfortunately, those dreams become ambitions and those ambitions become devils that can be stoped. People forget their beginnings in which their predecessors live in communities and share goods. Now, as society growth people who have reached a high economic standard of live. Most of the times, they refuse to extend a hand to those in worth condition. Within the same city, different social classes have aroused; they built their house separate from each others. They do not want to step in other people shoes; they avoid the reality. Evolution has transformed the way we used to think and act. People who reach the climb of the mountain loss the ability of put their feet in earth. People sometimes cannot see more than what their eyes want it to see. People ambitions has taken their soul.
