I noticed this extract from a book by Carl Sagan when I checked on my seti@home stats yesterday.
It's message just seemed fitting considering the tragic events of this week so I thought I'd share it. Hope you find some food for thought in those words...
And if anyone is interested in reading the whole book, I can whole-heartedly recommend it.

So can I. I have many (if not all) of Sagan's books. He's very good at putting things into perspective at times.
