[02:27.00]Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors
[02:33.04]so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
[02:42.25]That’s here, that’s home, that’s us.
[02:46.02]On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of,
[02:53.03]every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
[02:58.55]The aggregate of our joy and suffering,
[03:01.96]thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines,
[03:07.11]every hero and coward,every creator and destroyer of civilization,
[03:11.86]every king and peasant,
[03:14.13]every young couple in love,
[03:15.94]every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer,
[03:21.66]every teacher of morals,
[03:23.52]every corrupt politician,
[03:25.07]every “superstar,”
[03:27.13]every “supreme leader,”
[03:27.35]every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there
[03:33.81]on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
