Consider: You are the current manifestation of the lusts and dreams of a hundred thousand generations of humans. And yet, you are also a single lifeboat in a vast historical tempest, surrounded by the hostility of stretches of space, a mote on a mote on a mote of dust that universal historians long forgot.
Should we feel pride or despair?
Perhaps, if we are wise, we will embrace both.
