Reflections on Humanity and Existence

Channeling Carl Sagan.

Look again at that dot. That's here.

That's home. That's us.

On it, everyone you love, everyone you know,

everyone you've ever heard of,

every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions,

ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every

hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization,

every king and peasant,

every young couple in love,

every mother and father,

hopeful child, inventor, and explorer,

every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every

superstar, every supreme leader,

every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of

dust suspended in a sunbeam.
