Lacrymaria Lyrics by Ryan Art

LiveFi.01 / Living in the 21st Century Through the Past for the Future

2020

[Carl Sagan]
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different
When an early galaxy began to pour light out into the surrounding darkness
No witness could have known that billions of years later some remote clumps of rock and metal
Ice and organic molecules would fall together to make a place called Earth;
Or that life would arise and thinking beings evolve who would one day capture a little of that galactic light, and try to puzzle out what had sent it on its way…
Try to convince yourself that God created the wholе Universe for one of thе 10 million or so species of life that inhabit that speck of dust
Now take it a step further: Imagine that everything was made just for a single shade of that species
Or gender, or ethnic or religious subdivision
If this doesn’t strike you as unlikely, pick another dot
Imagine it to be inhabited by a different form of intelligent life
They, too, cherish the notion of a God who has created everything for their benefit
How seriously do you take their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Their claim?
Obscurity, in all this vastness
There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate
Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work worthy of the interposition of deity
The Earth is a very small stage
Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that
In glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters
Of a fraction of a dot
Our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light
