Contemplate The Starry Night Sky
"...through the millenia of civilization, humans have seldom stopped and reflected seriously on whether or not we are beneficial additions to Earth's system of life. Self-absorbed, we focus on our own survival and on explorations into our own innate powers. We never developed a larger perspective by which to evaluate our activities, a perspective that included stars, planets, and all other life forms. This limited world-picture is precisely what is ruining us as a species....If the higher life forms disappear, they can not be re-created. When life forms vanish, they vanish forever..." ~ Dr. Brian Swimme
