It brought to mind the last image that Voyager took when Sagan had them turn it back to Earth. All this suffering, emotion, and struggle, on a pale blue dot in a timeless void.

You would think we should be learning from this. But we are always asked to concentrate on divisions and disagreements. We have institutionalized competitiveness that doesn't bring out the best. We should be looking for collaboration, and listening more. We can do better. This is us. This is who we are.
