This game is hosted by Vinitha Dileep, on her blog 'Reflections' and
I discovered it on Esha's blog. This time the word prompt is 'QUOTE'.
Periodically I participate in a game of favorite quotes, in which we share different
ideas and authors. And I told myself that the Universe fitted things right, in order to
complete some of the ideas presented in my post "Carl Edward Sagan and his thoughts". The following images are part of the video "Top 10 Pictures of Earth from Space" and for each one I have specified the moment when they appear, if you want to find them later:
The narration from the video is an excerpt from the audio book version of
Carl Sagan's 'Pale Blue Dot - A vision of the human future in space'.
And I want to share with you a few author's quotes, presented in this video:
"Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."...
"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena." ...
"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."...
"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."
With other words, we live on a "small dot" from the Universe and we forget
or ignore this simple fact...!
We are "pixels" on this small dot from the Universe and we continue to
forget or ignore this simple fact...!
Periodic particip la un joc al citatelor favorite, in care impartasim diferite idei si
diferiti autori.
Si mi-am spus ca Universul a potrivit bine lucrurile, pentru a completa postarea
“Carl Edward Sagan si gandurile lui”. Cele cinci imagini, parte din video-ul (inclus)
'Zece imagini ale pamantului din spatiu” si pe care le puteti vedea mai sus, sunt
redari ale momentelor: 0.30; 0.46; 1.14; 1.33; 1.53, daca vreti sa le regasiti.
Naratiunea din videoclip este extrasa din versiunea audio a cartii lui Sagan:
'Un palid punct albastru - viziune asupra viitorului omenirii in spatiu'.
Si as vrea sa va redau cateva citate ale autorului prezentate in videoclip:
"Gandeste-te din nou la punctul ala. Acela este aici. Acela este acasa.
Acela suntem noi."
"Pamantul este o foarte mica scena intr-o vasta arena cosmica."
"Atitudinile noastre, imaginara noastra importanta, amagirea ca avem o pozitie privilegiata
in univers - sunt provocate de acest punct de lumina palida. Planeta noastră este un fir de
praf singuratic, in marele intuneric cosmic invaluitor. In obscuritatea noastra, in toata
aceasta vastitate, nu exista niciun indiciu ca ajutorul va veni din alta parte pentru a ne
salva de noi insine."
"Poate ca nu exista o demonstratie mai buna a nebuniei ingamfarii umane, decât aceasta
imagine indepartata a lumii noastre minuscule. Pentru mine, subliniaza responsabilitatea
noastra de a ne trata cu respect unul pe celalalt si pentru a apara si a pretui palidul
punct albastru,
singura casa pe care am cunoscut-o vreodata".
Cu alte cuvinte, traim pe un "punct mic" din Univers și uitam sau ignoram
acest simplu fapt...!
Suntem "pixeli" pe acest mic punct din Univers si continuam sa uitam sau sa
ignoram acest simplu fapt...!
