I know many have seen this, but it's worth watching a hundred times. If you haven't seen it - please watch. It's only 4 minutes.

Great vid! Truly humbling insight indeed! 'FOLLY OF HUMAN CONCEIT'---What a wonderful turn of phrase and how appropriate!

Thanks for this extremely insightful clip, and thank you reminding me how vast our reality is and how insignificantly small we are.

It makes me shiver with the thought that all of the humanity to have ever set afoot on earth, and all that is to come, is on nothing but a pale blue dot. Amazing isn't it how big and important we think we are, yet this only goes to show how the truth is that in reality we are nothing but a spec of dust. An absolutely mindblowing concept, truth, reality. It really does just blow my mind away.

Here i am sitting on my bed, in my room in the middle of London of the UK, but in Space, i do not exist, we are of little or no significance in the vastness of Space, there is no evidence of our existence in Space, we may be the only life in Space to our knowledge, but this may not necessarily be true, of course the conspiracy theories regarding this are endless.

But I geuinely believe that thinking in this way really can and does humble a person, and we should most definitely preserve the bounties we have on earth, we should preserve life, stop the killings and the starvation of innocent children, women and men.

We should do all we can to stop our world from ending, stop the Earth breaking apart. From a spec of dust, into everything we have ever known and will ever know, back to being nothing but a spec of dust.

Amazing how everything is so beautifully linked, the Earth has a circle of life, just like the way us humans do
