This reminds me of Carl Sagan’s pale blue dot.
Here it is.
This is our hometown.
This is us.
All the people we love.
everyone we know
Everyone you’ve heard of.
All the people who were there in the past…

All our joys and pains.
countless religions full of conviction
ideologies
economic doctrine
all hunters and looters

creator and destroyer of civilization
king and farmer
young lovers in love
All the fathers and mothers.
hopeful children
inventor and explorer
all moral teachers
all corrupt politicians
All superstars.
all the supreme leaders

Think about how deep that hatred was.
If you look at this small dot,
We have no choice but to doubt those who claim that we are in the chosen place of the universe.
