Sometimes something in a movie hits you... Right in the Face... like a sucker punch when u least expect it...

i saw this movie 10 years ago cause i though Mena Suvari was too fucking hot to be missed... and instead i found one of the most amazing philosophies that i've ever heard..... It is truly BEAUTIFUL.....

What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs......

Pale Blue Dot......

This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed 'Pale Blue Dot', is a part of the first ever 'portrait' of the solar system taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic.

"From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. 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. 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.

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.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. 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."

The REAL Barbie Story

Apparently this was after Ken disagreed with her on certain Brand Endorsements.......

Insignificantly Significant....

The significance of one's life is a question one asks at some point of time or the other. It is a question that even the greatest and the smallest of us asks and any answer we give each other or ourselves is never complete for even after having heard an answer, we are still left with a sense of incompleteness, a sense of dissatisfaction.

I have been plagued by the question a lot in the past 7 or 8 years and every time i would look up into the sky and imagine the planet we are on, teeming with life and activity, out to the moon orbiting our blue-green planet, out to the rest of the planets centered around our Sun that make up our star system, further out to the many star systems clustered around the core of our Galaxy and then the many millions of galaxies that dot the vast nothingness of Space, like small oasis's in a desert.

This thought would unfailingly depress me as i would always be awestruck by the small dot, that is me, on a slightly bigger dot, that is the Earth, tucked away in the Western Spiral of the Milky way, hurtling through space, a product of the Universe that is ever so vast, the sheer size of which, a human brain cannot comprehend.

So why? Why is it that we live, that we are given a maximum of 100 Human years to lead our lives, do whatever it is that we do, grow old and die. Why is it that we were given the ability to think, to speak, to reason, to invent, to discover, when the Universe within whose confines our Species occupies a tiny  microscopical pin-prick of space, is beyond our comprehension. It is such that we do not even know where or why this Universe came about into being. We are not even sure if our Universe is a part of something else. That the buck does not end with our 3 Dimensional Reality.

Life is the greatest expression in our Universe. Many may put love to be the greatest expression, many might say that how can Life be an expression in the first place? We humans express a range of things but without Life we wouldnt be here to express anything. Life is the Greatest Expression because it is an expression by our Universe. It is a product of favorable conditions for life, which as far as Humanity's limited knowledge goes, has never been replicated anywhere else in the Universe. It is a a result of several Free Floating Single Celled organisms deciding to clump together for a change in the liquid confines of Pre-Historic Earth. Life is the greatest expression because when it results in an intelligent species like ours gives rise to entities like Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Einstein, Hawking and so on who obsessed with the Mysteries of the Universe attempt and succeed in unraveling a small part of it. Life is the Greatest Expression because it creates US, we who can marvel at the Universe, we who can partially understand the nature of the Universe our Creator and our Home.

Why is it then that this is so Ironic, that we who are the ultimate product of the Universe, that we who live, breathe, think, comprehend the Universe that envelopes us, why is it that our significance is molecularly microscopic, that our lives individually mean nothing. Some may say that it is whimsical to wish for individual human lives to mean something in the cosmological perspective and in a way they would be right.

But maybe the part we dont understand is the fact that everything in the Universe is its product, every star system, every nebulae, every Quasar, every Black hole, every supernova is a slave to the Laws of the 3 Dimensional reality we perceive. Everything in this universe is governed by the Scientific laws and principles we attribute to the nature of the Universe. But us? We are indeed governed by Scientific laws like those of Gravity, Inertia, Motion etc. but in our lives we have one thing that is unique, one right that is specific to Living Thinking Organisims, the right of CHOICE.

Our Choices govern our lives and our lives are filled with choices which shape and give impetus to our lives. Choice to do or not to do is what sets us apart from all the dust and hydrogen that fills our Universe, Choice is our answer to the Universe to which we are insignificant.
 

2012 & the Mayan Long Count???

All of us have undoubtedly heard of the Mayan Long Count Calendar and the implications of the end of the world on 20/12/2012...... but how much of it is to be believed... with all the talk of planetary Alignment and increase of Solar Flares one does wonder what is the truth...

Sometimes though The Simplest Explanation is the answer.......
