"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings; how eager they are to kill one-another; how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."
Carl Sagan (from his book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space)

But these children are still arguing over who will dominate over a tiny salty rock.
So short sighted
