As big as we think we are, in truth our planet, with it's vast resources
and geological splendor is but a pale blue dot in a magnificent ocean
of wonder. We often forget how small we really are, how trivial our
differences when put into context. With all our technological advances
and feats of engineering, we have still yet to colonize other worlds,
visit other star systems, or even discover other life beyond Earth in
the Universe.
Humanity is still young, and our mistake are many.
Nevertheless, we can learn from the past. It's evident, the walls
between us aren't as tall as we once thought. Our ever persistent quest
for knowledge is something that unites us all. We all wonder what the
future might hold, what awaits us elsewhere in the universe? Perhaps we
might never discover a means of fast interstellar travel by our
standards of time. Perhaps this is the only solar system we'll ever
truly know and call home.
One thing is certain however, this is
where we make our stand as a species. For now at least, this is where we
call home! Until we can discover a way to travel the stars and/or
terraform other worlds, Earth is the only planet we know of capable of
supporting human life. That fact serves as a reminder to us all, a
realization that we are already unified through this planet we call
home.
Petty wars and intolerance will only serve to ensure our
own extinction. If we fail to accept and/or peacefully address our
differences on Earth, we can not hope to peacefully occupy celestial
bodies elsewhere in the cosmos. With that being said, humanity is ready
to make that next great leap. We have the power to unite today and make
all those dreams of a better future a reality. Perhaps peace begins
where we all began, in the stars.
