For those fortunate enough to see Earth from space, many of
them speak about a moment of clarity. That clarity is also a complexity of
being alone, we only have one home yet, we are all in this together and so much
is lost in the struggles we make. The quotes, observations and thoughts that
are inspired by seeing the Earth floating in space can grab the essence of
peace. Each of us are ultimately alone, living with others, struggling to find
our way and hoping for a better future.
I used the word our because it represents both me and us. As
I go about this research, there can be no areas that is not a source of
interest. To me, the duality of me and us, alone yet together; these factors
are integral to every piece of information and thought I encounter. For
example:
How a person views themselves is impacted by where they
live, the language they speak, the colour of their skin, the way they spell
words, the clothes they wear, their health, their job, their hobbies, their
families, their chosen spirituality, even the time period they live in will
impact who a person is. Then each of us will have to be aware of how others
perceive us. Then there is the reality of the person that we want to be and the
person we are.
