This book makes me think of the future, a possible future that I won't be around to see; however, my great-grandchildren and so forth could.

With the way our world is functioning, I really liked the opening quote in this book: "The best way to rid society of the evils of human nature is to periodically wipe each person's mind of their prejudices learned through life experiences. With the mind a blank slate, everyone has the freedom to author their own soul. Tabula Rasa. It is the future. It is what will save humanity. ~The Planner"

I thought, at first, what a great way to keep the world at peace. However; I no longer think any of this nor wish for any of this to ever happen. We have memories to keep things no longer around alive and I wouldn't want to lose that for anything. The stories we read are from the minds of memory who create their stories. How can anyone want to lose those treasures. Perfectly put on page 34; "There are words inside me trying to break out. My job as a writer is to birth them and raise them into responsible adults."

WE are/ I AM part of the dreamers..."a group of people who believe their dreams are manifestations of their past lives, and they use them as clues to lead them back", (Dahlan, pg 35). I know this to be true for I dream daily and receive glimpses of past lives still.

Anyway this is an excellent book that really gives you something to think about if you're a thinker like me. The storyline was great and yet thinking of today it had me sad. I say NO to Tabula Rasa, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Even memories we would like to never remember, those horrible ones, in the end they still made us warriors!
