Inspirational thought of the day

[Heat]

Whilst writing this my inspiration came from Neil Degrasse Tyson's video/s "We stopped dreaming"


It's when he was talking about the earth and explaining how "Before we wen't to the moon, we had never seen earth as this big ball in space, the most well known photograph of the globe was taken at this point. Once people saw this picture, they started to see the Earth in a new light, because unlike a globe in class, it was the first time people had seen Earth not divided by countries, and without borders like globe models in class rooms. It was the first time people stopped thinking about Earth divided, but instead as one, and that's when organizations like "Doctors without borders" were started, because for the first time, people were seeing things in a global perspective, "Without borders"? Who heard of that, that wasn't even a thing until we saw that picture, nobody had that perspective."

That's what I was half attempting to recreate in what I posted, and half making it my own and adding ideas of my own.
It was a lot like what he said, but in a less direct sense, and more of a um....creative sense? I don't know, I like poetry that is boad, general, and indirect, the two i've written I wanted to write so that people could draw their own conclusions and meanings. Did it work? I don't know. I get the feeling people didn't like this one, which disappoints me but what're you gonna do I guess.


However, i'm quite confused especially by benny's response, I was aware that this was a forum of intellectual discussions, and posts, whether or not you like/dislike my writing, I don't understand saying "Save your thoughts to yourself", or "Don't post this here", I thought sharing your thoughts was exactly what this forum was for, discussing them whatever, but I can't accept what may have been just benny or other people telling me "You can't share these thoughts here". I would expect better from people who claim themselves as intellectuals to tell someone to keep quiet about their opinions and ideas.

Well, I like it. Its structure is sound. Although I would also argue that the idea we are all one because we live on the same planet would be inaccurate. Its poetically lovely and inspirational but it doesn't hold up. I mean, technically my body isn't all one. Its a collection of things that produce actions and reactions. The reason I am identified by most as a single thing is because their senses can't perceive the complex number of parts that allow me to function. The difference however is if my liver fails (not a remote possibility) then I may cease to function. If humanity fails the world, the universe will not even blink. We are, at best, passengers. I suppose we could become more though? Time will tell.
Its doesn't really matter, works of art are rarely completely accurate. They are the results of our perceptions and thoughts. They can be beautiful even if flawed. The objective is not to craft a truth, it is to craft an alternative perspective that resonates with others it is shown to.

I can't really speak for Benny.

I know we are not all equal. I was actually going in the opposite direction. Where you say "I mean there are smaller and smaller things that seperate us all" I was saying "The bigger you go, the more Earth becomes indistinguishable by the small differences we distinguish it by, which is why we should all think bigger and not worry about these small differences, as on a cosmological scale they are meaningless".
