Look again ,at that pale blue dot.
That's here. that's home.
That’s the whole wide world.
That’s you
That’s me.
That's us..

On it lives everybody.
Every human who ever was.
Everyone you know, or ever heard of.
Everyone you have or will ever love

All joy and suffering,
All the big small ideas
All religions, ideologies,
Economic doctrines,
You will only ever find them right here.

Every hunter, forager,
hero or coward,
Every loser,
Every winner
Every honest or corrupt politician
Every saint,
every sinner
Every king, peasant,
Teacher of morals,
Creator or destroyer.
Every mother, father, or hope filled child,
Every Inventor
Every explorer,
Every superstar, supreme leader,
Every hope,
Every dream
Happened here. On a mote of dust,
Suspended in a sunbeam

In this vast cosmic arena
Think of the wars that we wage
No matter how important we think them
Our dot is a very small stage
Think of all generals and emperors
the rivers of blood they spilled
So that in glory and their triumph,
They could extend their will
Once their battles were over
look at what they had got
They’d became the momentary masters
of a fraction of a dot
Think of the endless cruelties
we visit on each other
how fervent our hatreds, how eagerly we kill
our sisters and our brothers
inhabitants of one corner of this pale blue dot
scarcely distinguishable from inhabitants on another
how frequent our misunderstandings are,
So we make war on one another

The thoughts of universal privileged position .
the delusion that only we are right
all our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
are challenged by this pale point of blue light.


This Dot is the only world we know of .
There is no, where else,
That anywhere in the near future,
to which we all could migrate.
There are other Dots we can Visit
Travellers with us in space
Visit, yes. But not Settle,
So for now this dot is our place.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling
And the truth of this has been unfurled
There no better demonstration of human conceits
than this distant image of our tiny blue world.
