On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. 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 civilization, 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 our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
On the scale of worlds, humans are inconsequential."

Nice post! The view from up there must be amazing.
There´s always, at least, two points of view: if you look up you feel so little and vulnerable... but if you look down you are so big and powerful... I guess the ultimate challenge is to look ahead and behind, we should look at stuff like we are not taller, or smaller, we are just like anybody else. We are just spots in this great home called Earth. I have no idea if there´s anything besides this, so... We better enjoy it while we are here.
