Perspective my friend.

The point is what you take from it. I may view this video and leave thinking one thing while another may do something different. The point of this video is to think. Think of how we as a species feel self-important when, in fact, we are merely an insignificant spec of dust in the cosmos. The universe exists with or without us and here we are fighting amongst ourselves for a mere sliver of the "pale blue dot" in the cosmos. It speaks to our self-centered nature.

"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 can become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."

gives me chills

To those who like this video, and those who loved Sagan ... read the book, Pale Blue Dot. You won't regret it.

This video is hypnotizing. I watch it every year. And some times late at night when I can't sleep I somehow find myself watching this video.

These are the words that come to one of those special people, that create something so beautiful and mind altering that it's remembered for years to come.
