Speck on a pale blue dot

Have you thought about who you are? How important you find yourself to be, your culture, your god? How men and women wage wars over territories we have created for ourselves? Then, have you looked down on the ground and saw yourself as a giant? Found yourself to be an intelligent being.  Feel the air, breath it in. Dip in the water and feel the ground beneath your feet.

Zoom out a bit. Fly where the birds are. Look down. See how all the people look like ants. The boundary you drew on the map isn't there. The map of your country isn't there. The music and the culture of your people aren't there. Everyone looks like an ant.

Zoom out a bit more. Stand between the moon and the earth. See the land and the sea. The forest and the rivers.

Zoom out further and stand on the moon. Look again and see the oceans, the Saharan desert. Look carefully and you will see that the greatest achievements of man aren't there.

Go further and see the earth, moon, the sun and the other planets. See them just going around.

Go further and see the stars the universe and turn around. Where is the earth? Somewhere, a dot in a milky way. If you get closer it might be a pale blue dot, but for now even this earth is nowhere to be seen in the vastness. So how important are you in the whole of cosmos?
