Prompt

Create an image of a serene and symbolic representation of "The Better Angels of Our Nature". Depict a majestic tree with its roots digging deep into the earth, symbolizing the foundation of human history, and its branches reaching towards the sky, representing the aspiration for a less violent future. In the foreground, a worn, leather-bound book lies open, with a page displaying the quote "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew." - Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address. The tree's trunk is adorned with subtle, shimmering threads, representing the connections between human psychology, history, and the decline of violence. In the background, a faint, gradient sky transitions from a dark, turbulent hue to a lighter, more hopeful tone, signifying the passage of time and the progress of humanity. The overall style should be a mix of realism and gentle, symbolic abstraction, conveying a sense of optimism and contemplation.
