공유하기
＂From this distant vantage point
the Earth might not
seem of any particular interest.
But for us, it's different.
Consider again that dot.
That's here. That's home. That's us.
On it, everyone you love
everyone you know
everyone you ever heard of
every human being who ever was
lived out their lives.

The aggregate of our joy and suffering
thousands of confident
religions, ideologies
and economic doctrines
every hunter and forager
every hero and coward, every creator
and destroyer of civilization
every king and peasant
every young couple in love
every mother and father
hopeful child, inventor and explorer
every teacher of morals
every corrupt politician
every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,'
every saint and sinner in the history
of our species lived there
on a mote of dust
suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very
small stage 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.
Think of the endless cruelties
visited by the inhabitants of one
corner of this pixel on the scarcely
distinguishable inhabitants
of some other corner.

How frequent their misunderstandings
how eager they are to kill one another
how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings
our imagined self-importance
the delusion 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 our obscurity - in all this vastness -
there is no hint that help
will come from elsewhere to
save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known
so far, to harbor life.
There is nowhere else
at least in the near future
to which our species could migrate.

Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not
for the moment, the Earth is
where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a
humbling and
character-building experience
There is perhaps no better
demonstration of the folly of human
conceits than this distant
image of our tiny world.

To me, it underscores our responsibility
to deal more kindly with one another
and to preserve and cherish
the pale blue dot
the only home we have ever known.
