How relevant is a tiny speck of dust, in a room where it makes up about 0.0003% of the total weight of the "things" in the room, taken together?

An odd thought. Right?

We live in a strange pale blue dot. A world where the single most intelligent species decided that its a brilliant idea to be up in arms against each other.
Here you can die simply because of being yourself.

You can be shot and choked for simply being a person of color(s). You can be lynched and mobbed for harbouring a certain faith. You can be stoned and stabbed for your sexual orientation in this "normal" heteronormative society.

(5/n) Yet, all it takes is just one cyclone, one earthquake, one invisible strain of virus to bring us all to our knees. We feel helpless, defeated against nature. And yet when the exigency is over, we go back to our own prejucided, inhumane acts.

One thing is for certain: We may not get another wake-up call, if we do not pay heed now.

Thank you.
