Not all of us can associate ourselves to the whole universe and thus think as widely as this article from you expects them to. So in my opinion all that should matter to immortal normal human beings should be the matter from where we need to make them understand the bigger issues of humanity.

Worse still Sagan is full of appreciation for Buddha's pronouncements on ethics and the Hindu scale of cosmology.

In the vastness of the universe the earth matters little and the rivers of blood even less; and the triumphs for which all that was spilt even less. Now the New/Old Creationist morons (Intelligent Design stupids included) can't stand Carl Sagan in general (idiots aren't fond of the wise) and this quote in particular. Hard to accept things as they are. Padmanabhan,

Yours is a great blog. I enjoyed reading most articles. But regarding this post/quote - I have a different opinion.This is double standards. "The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot." If earth is one small blue dot, isnt all the rivers of blood spilled an even smaller , even more insignificant microscopic dot. one cant treat earth as insignificant and something happening in earth as more significant or worthy enough to complain.
