I believe in the future and believe we can become more than we've been. We've no limits if we devote our resources. We can travel from horizon to horizon. And then enter near earth orbit, or send a probe to the nearest star. Someday we'll colonize Mars, establish pathways to the rest of the universe.
But we must survive first. We must survive the wars, the pandemics, the polluted planet, and our own misuse of resources. We must survive our own failings, and proclivities or we will be our own curse. We must realize that this blue planet is a lifeboat, and we have no other way to stay afloat. We must love each other, and truly act as though we love the earth.
