In 1990, the Voyager-1 captured the Earth from 6 billion kilometers away. THE Group Photo: 7 billion people featured, not a face is seen. Should be humbling. If there is one post I ask you to read every word of, this is it.
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. 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, …, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam”.

Ironically, the Earth’s selfie dates at February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Perhaps, Love is the meaning of life. All it takes is love.
