Planet Earth is a very tiny spot on the Universe Map, but she is more important than any other because she cradles all the known life. One day we may colonize other planets. We may discover life elsewhere already sprouted. But for now, we are all we have. We can take care of our own.

Humans do that. They don’t do it gently or peacefully. History is written by the victors. But I don’t think there is one victor who is not influenced by the people he is trying to subjugate. After a few generations a new culture is born. The Third Culture Kid is the ultimate victor!
