| To the contrary, I believe the message isn't "nothing matters" but rather that we aught reconsider our priorities.We should realize that property is not worth bloodshed and violence. To conquer a quarter of the world would still be to "be the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."Religious, political, and economic doctrine are all as perpetually transient as they are inscrutable from the perspective of the cosmos. Again, hardly the kind of thing worth fighting over.The message is that we aught to realize what really matters. We are all together in a tiny, desperate existence against a backdrop practical infinity. We're all floating together on our pale blue dot, and for that reason we aught to care for each other and the planet which is both our mother and our only life-raft in the hostile seas of the universe. Every day there is a world of unparalleled beauty set out before us, filled with people just looking for love in this world. The tragedy is they are looking in all the wrong places. The beauty is that it's all they really ever ask for.This passage is one of the single most inspirational things I had ever heard when I first saw it several years back. I still revisit it from time to time as a reminder. Sagan isn't a nihilist. Instead, he asks that we move past our primitive and cursory concept of "meaning." That concept necessitates so many troubled and trouble causing ideas such as God, such as property, such as country, such as enemies and allies. All of these are offered up to the insatiable appetite of the beast which demands forever "What is the meaning of this?" The tragedy is that we do not often stop to see that thousands of years of searching has cost us greatly and given us practically nothing in return but suffering.We are thinking creatures. We live most of our lives out in our heads. It was, I believe, Carl's aim here to tell us "Hey, stop worrying about all that so much and look what's right in front of you: It's beautiful." |
