A thought for All Souls Day

If life is rare in the galaxy, or even unique to Earth, then as Carl Sagan says, we need to change the way we treat each other:

Opinion | Elon Musk buying Twitter is our prompt to leave - The Washington Post:

“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.”

Something to keep in mind as we approach a national mid-term election where disagreement is fueled, and our basest instincts amplified, by a technology we don’t fully understand. All of our precious in the eyes of God and all of are wildly rare in Creation. All of us.
