That's home. That's us. On it everyone you know, everyone you love,
everyone you ever heard of every human being who ever was live and died
their lives. Every young couple in love, every mother and father,
hopeful child, every saint and sinner i the history of our species lived
there on the mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. How frequent their
misunderstandings, how fervent their hatreds. Our imagined
self-importance, the delusions that we have some privileged position in
the Universe are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a
lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In al this vastness,
there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from
ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the earth is where we make
our stand.There is perhaps no better demonstration of folly of human
conceits, than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our
responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and
cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
