From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest.
But for us, it's different.
Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home.
That's us.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand.
To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known.
The pale blue dot.
