We live in The Age of Greed. It began as we moved from cooperative,
nomadic clans to agriculture and first city states 7-10,000 years ago.
Ever more perverse, violent, and inexcusable as our technology grows, its onset saw the beginnings of class, narrow social constructs, selfishness, and justification for the suffering of the many for the 'privileged' few. The accumulation of things began to define as much as isolate us from each other in our pursuit of prestige, title, wealth, profit. In return we get more wealth, more titles, more things - but at the expense of meaningful life. It is a soulless, empty, hateful way to live.
If people could understand the truth of their reality through comprehension of this one picture - we could finally begin to usher in a new age. We are all part of an immensity we cannot really understand, except as it humbles. To know that humility, to let it strip away your meaningless constructs, is to know the fragility of life, the understanding that we are all in this together against immense odds - is to know love for all life. We are all one family of life.
The first ever photo of a super-massive black-hole – one of
billions as compared in size to our solar system.
