The Light of Consciousness

Consciousness is the most precious thing in the universe, for it is the the universe contemplating itself!

Until other sentient life is discovered in the cosmos, the sole custodians of this most unique and wondrous phenomenon will continue to be a singular miracle - one taken for granted by the tribe of petty, squabbling apes so lucky as to possess it…

We are bound by the swooping shape of the structure of spacetime to the surface of an edenic azure oasis amidst the desert dark, corkscrewing around the galaxy in the tow of a nondescript orange dwarf, born into placid stellar tranquility.

We could not want for a more hospitable home; how mad it would be to succumb to the slow shortsighted suicide of cascading systems collapse, or in a fit of futile, fratricidal madness by flinging the flensing fires of fission and fusion weapons at our fellow sapient siblings.

Truly, we have a duty of care to preserve the only, lonely consciousnesses as yet known to grace the glory of creation!
