Your expressions are well made. I can see an author in the making. An author these days needs to be unconventional and your ideas, profile, language etc match the expectations of publishers and readers. You can start some serious writing.Kishoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459036310638090765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886333989982237633.post-28972161149128864792010-07-30T23:04:57.386+05:302010-07-30T23:04:57.386+05:30Elegant Sagan ... as always.
What eloquence!
Mes...Elegant Sagan ... as always.<br /><br />What eloquence!<br /><br />Mesmerising.<br /><br />I often wonder about the breadth of human character — how wide the spectrum is.<br /><br />Think of all that has gone before to lead to us ... the recent hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary history of the hominids and the millions of years before that of mammalian evolution ...<br /><br />And before that? I do not even know ... more than 500 million years back to the Cambrian explosion ... and then four more billion years of boring microbes ...<br /><br />That's what it took to make us — humans. One wonders if it's necessarily that 'complex.'<br /><br />Does every instance of the creation of intelligent civilization have to have such a long history of gestation???<br /><br />Or is it that it's even more complex than that? Perhaps we ARE the ONLY 'intelligent' civilization in the whole of the visible universe ...<br /><br />What an awesome responsibility then!<br /><br />And what an aweful waste of real estate!<br /><br />100 billion galaxies and one intelligent civilazation inhabiting it!<br /><br />And members of that civilization span the spectrum from the likes of Hitler to the likes of Sagan ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181121443653529112noreply@blogger.com
