What a Human life is Worth … Part 01: the Perspective (03/03/15)
FACT — You are only one of roughly 7 billion humans living on one small planet orbiting one small star in one back-eddy “rural” neighborhood of one small galaxy in one relatively insignificant cluster of galaxies; all surrounded by literally BILLIONS of similar clusters of galaxies of neighborhoods of stars containing planets like ours — Indeed, even though we are alive & well here on planet Earth, and even though we each do indeed have “important things to do”, we are simultaneously almost lost within the overwhelming vastness that is the rest of the Universe.
“The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty …” ~ Carl Sagan
