Time out for a minute

This is way off topic from anything else you've read on FlowerChat, but it so beautifully summarizes my philosophy on life that I'm compelled to share it. This is why I love astronomy. The full article is on Wikipedia under Pale Blue Dot. Read, enjoy, understand.

"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."

I read another great thing the other day. "If they ever discover the centre of the universe, there will be some who will be surprised to learn it's not about them".

Thanks for the link.
