The bare fact is, all or almost all of us would have been comfortable hanging out with Carl Sagan and his friends as there are no stark ideological differences between us, as opposed to theists.Aye I have read some Carl Sagan and I agree with him on many things and I find his insight is often amazing. Just here he is dismissing a definition that most of us have dismissed too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
