This makes me want to cry.
I try to be stoic and harden my heart to defend it from the horrors of the world and current events, but this is just so beautiful and amazing and all I ever wanted since I was a kid.
I don't know how people can look at this and be unable to pause and just want peace. We are so small and fragile.
We as a species should be working together, not trying to kill each other at every possible moment.
It's all I've ever wanted, and as I've aged I've become jaded and felt it's just been a stupid dream. But seeing this picture reminds me of that feeling, a world without borders.
Thank you NASA.
Many of us have been having the same stupid dream...
