Glad you guys like the pale blue dot
That picture just says so much to me. I mean look at the world today whites black Jewish Muslims all fighting over what? to assume we are the only intelligent life in the universe is borderline ignorant. would't it make more sense for all of humanity to come together and work towards common goals like the betterment of everyone. Just think of this picture when ever you feel like seeking revenge or Judging others on how they look dress or act. because in that picture, a picture of all of humanity personally I cant see the difference between anyone. so show your friends this picture or send them here for another perspective on life. I wish you all a wonderful day.

So where does one begin when trying to offer help towards others
Ive been thinking about this for a little while and theres just so many problems with society so i figured it would be best to write out a list of problems to address and ways to offer advice to deal with them. so if any one has any suggestions please post them in the comments below but so this post isnt completely devoid of meaning heres my favorite quote. look at the picture and read the quote and have a wonderful day =)
"From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

A new place for my random two bits and to imagine a better world
Ok so to be honest I have always thought of starting a blog or a website with the purpose of trying to help people become happier, because well most of the world today is just so negative humans focus so much on the bad and stress and it brings them down. if your are depressed or sad I personally don't think you need some sort of drug to fix it. you can fix it you just have to learn how, I know for I used to be extremely depressed to where I wouldn't even want to get out of the bed in the morning. So take a seat stay awhile enjoy my random thoughts and hopefully you can imagine a better world even if you are not sad or depressed.
