[00:00:00]Look again at that dot. That's here.

[00:00:02]That's home. Carl Sagan looked at Earth from 6 billion kilometers away and [music] saw a tiny pale blue dot suspended in a sunbeam. Every king, every hero, every hater, and every ego lived out their lives on a mote of dust.

[00:00:18]We think our problems are the center of the universe, [music] but the stars do not hear our screams.

[00:00:23]Your pride and your pain are invisible in the cosmic scale.

[00:00:27]Does this make you small? No, it makes you free.

[00:00:31]Free from the burden of self-importance.

[00:00:33]Free to cherish the only home [music] we've ever known. Stop fighting over shadows. Look up, stay humble, and love what you have. Subscribe to see the bigger picture.
