We humans have the ability to build beautiful things or ugly ones, to seek out peace or war, to do good or evil, to reach for the sublime or wallow in the slop.

And it's an individual decision, one we make multiple times, each and every day.

⛪An abandoned church hall, later used as a nightclub. Somewhere in England.

Built in 1903 as a Methodist Central Hall, before its 1990s rebirth as a nightclub. It was a legendary rave venue for two decades.

The building’s history hasn't been without tragedy. It was the site of several fatalities: a fatal fall from the clock tower in the 90s, a murder outside the venue, and a drug-related death in the 2000s.

It's good to know that in some places -- many places, one hopes -- there is a sense of timelessness, a connection to the past that does not bow down before technology and trends.
