And Kal Sagan wrote a very beautiful he wrote a book about it. And there's a very beautiful speech in that talking about how that's all there is to us, to all of humanity
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 the 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 us be Thies live there on a moat of dust suspended in a Sunbeam

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 selfimportance, 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
