(Second Life snapshot)
"After
sleeping through a hundred million centuries
we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet,
sparkling with color, bountiful with life.
Within decades we must close our eyes again.
Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way
of spending our brief time in the sun,
to work at understanding the universe
and how we have come to wake up in it?
This is how I answer when I am asked
- as I am surprisingly often -
why I bother to get up in the mornings."
- Richard Dawkins
