This picture was taken from the Great Plains of the Midwest where the sky is not obscured by mountains. The sky looks big here, yet in comparison to the Milky Way it is small, and in comparison to the Universe it is rather insignificant. Contemplating this I feel small and insignificant myself.
Each person on Earth is the same in that regard, regardless of their talents, titles, or the costume that they call a uniform and wear so proudly. It makes me wonder where the feelings of entitlement of one person over another originated from and why this primitive thinking still persists in this wonderful age of technology and knowledge.
I hope that someday this antiquated thinking no longer exists and that history books 100 or more years in the future look back at this time where one person rules over another like how we look at the Salem witch trials now, which they were obviously stupid in hindsight or not.
