Forget about polls for a moment. Forget about who polls better or worse. Think about the planet Earth instead, and all the living creatures that now live upon it, and depend upon it.
Forget about gay rights for a moment. Forget about racial and gender equality, for just a moment if you can. Forget about women’s rights too, and every pet liberal issue that ever was, if you can do that for just a moment.
And in that moment, think instead about the totality and unity of this planet we call Earth. Think about all that unity entails, from the smallest of microbes to the most complex and wondrous of life forms. Of which we ourselves are an integral part. And think about how fragile all of that really is, in relation to the Cosmos, of which we know next to nothing. Think also about the multifarious social forms and norms that we humans have devised and evolved, in order to live and prosper on this planet. Think about the extent of our diversity.
Thank you. Now we can all go back to quarreling as usual.
