In Trying Times - Lessons from A Pale Blue Dot.

Carl Sagan's speech "A Pale Blue Dot", has been and will forever be an important personal lesson and a humbling serum that helps me to cope in times of adversity. Particularly during trying times, it is a great reminder that our interconnectedness, and responsibility towards one another, and our Home, transcend any falsehood or deceptive idea ever harbored in our minds. In his speech, Carl puts it best:

"To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." 

I would like to invite you to read the full speech and to reflect on what lessons or reminders you can draw from it. Here are two links might interested you:
