11 "Think of the Rivers of Blood, spilled by all those Generals and Emperors... So that in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary Masters, of a fraction, of a dot..." - Carl Sagan (soundcloud.com) History posted 3 years ago by Windowmaker 3 years ago by Windowmaker +12 / -1 14 comments share 14 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Every Human Being that ever was...
Every Hero.
Creator, Inventor.
Explorer.
Every Teacher of Morals. Every Saint... And Sinner...
Every Human Being who ever was!
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem like any particular interest... But for US, It's different.
Consider again, that dot...
That’s here. That’s home. That’s us!
That's us.
That's Home.
That's here. That's US.
Every Human Being who ever was, lives here...
On a mote of dust, suspended, in a Sunbeam...
In a vast, Cosmic, Arena...
Think of the rivers of blood, spilled by all those Generals and Emperors...
So that in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters, of a fraction, of a dot...
Do you have any interest in exploring this view further? It's well worth the time to do so! I created a community specifically for such discussion if you are at all interested!
I am a big sagan fan as well!
Let's go brotha, I'm open for discussions
Rock and roll!
First, let me say that sagan is right about what he is saying here - and nothing I am going to say below will alter that.
What would you say/think if I told you I had evidence that we are not, in fact, on that dot right there?
I'm listening, Where do you hypothesize we are?
