The picture disturbed me. It made me realize something we should all take into consideration the next time we treat individuals in a manner which could be seen as exclusionary. Intended or not, this type of thing is a result of the social construction of reality. The emphasis on competition requires there be winners and losers. Based on this notion then, it can be said that there can be no more a requirement for the equitable distribution of resources so that competition levels can rise thus bringing the advancement of new technologies to the forefront while incorporating more people to the structure and enabling everyone to be involved in a creation not singular but plural in nature, than access to the same. So what then? What happens when everyone has the same access? Does the value of certain things go down if everyone has access alone? The answer is no.
The picture of the Earth alone floating like the moon disturbed me. This place, is one speck in a vast darkness that we know nothing about. I mean we are of no consequence. Who the hell are we? I think we are incredibly lost and limited in our scope. I think we are temporary morsels for the Earth to engulf. From that place in our minds maybe we can better understand how not to treat people, how to better ourselves and one other person, and how to feel, as close as possible anyway, how someone else feels and try to understand the scope of the issue(s) we face as individuals together.
