Here it is. This is our hometown. This is us. Everyone we love, everyone we know, everyone you've heard of, everyone you've ever been here before. All our joy and suffering, so many convinced religions, ideologies, economic dogmas, every hunter and predator here, every hero and coward, every young man, every man and every man in civilization, every man and every man in love.
The earth is such a small stage in the vast expanse of space. Consider the history of blood, which has been shown by countless conquerors in history who tried to occupy a very small part of this small point under the name of victory and glory. Think about the cruelty that people who lived on one corner of this little dot showed to those who lived on other corners that were almost indistinguishable. Think all about how often you misunderstood each other, how hard you've tried to kill each other, and how deep the hatred is. This small dot will doubt those who claim we are in the chosen part of the universe.
This place where we live is just a lonely stain in the dark. Is there anything else in this vast darkness that will save us? Does the photo remind you of that? Is it easier to show our arrogance than this picture of our little world? More than this pale blue dot, is there anything that shows us the responsibility to treat the only home we know and to treat each other warmly?
