A SPEC OF GREATNESS
“In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. From hearing this amazing speech, that in 1990, Carl Sagan made NASA turn the Voyager 1 space craft to take a picture of Earth from 6 billion Kilometres away, He placed humans within the context of an infinite universe. From this phase I think it means Earth is in the great vastness of the Universe. However as small it may appear from that distance, it is so much more to us. For us it's our world ,the only known world which harbours life, sustain life, and it's our home. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which humans could migrate to. That tells us that if we screw up and destroy this wonderful planet. It will come to the point of extinction to all humankind. In addition i think it means, we need to fix our problem and help rebuild this planet. Can we, who have made such a mess of this world, be trusted with others. It makes you consider the world around you and the massive scale of the Universe. Take in consideration that this is our only 1 chance, if we fail and destroy this planet, theres no going back. In conclusion, I Tom Huynh, and my fellow human beings, we need to put our difference and side, and not fight. We need to work together and save this planet and ourselves. Or else, there won’t be a planet to rule over.

This was a joy to read. It really makes you realize, the atrocity of our current situation here on Earth. We need some aliens to help us out!

This was so enjoyable to read and you put much detail in it. And I do agree with you that no one will tell us that we did something wrong.
