Could discontentment be a vice? To be a farmer would suffice - yet, born upon this earthly sphere, a boy in County Lincolnshire was left by farming, cold as ice. Not content to sow and harvest grain, He sought to understand and explain, inventing calculus he showed how nature's secrets he'd decode with his unsated, searching brain. As Newton revealed the laws of spheres there followed other pioneers, none of them quite satisfied, as they were only gratified by blazing new frontiers. Dissatisfaction's contribution: the Industrial Revolution - happy changes - if there are finds by newly discontented minds, yielding a climate change solution.
