If you see errors to correct, just tell me. ------------------------------------------------- Take five minutes. Calm down, Relax. Now imagine. Imagine to get out of your body. You can see yourself there, on your chair, in front of your computer you leave, you fly away upwards, you can see the roof of your house your quarter your city always more houses more cities, roads, lakes, mountain chains, the sea you pass through thick clouds the ocean the continents The Earth. Its immensity is enclosed in a small blue sphere. And we, the great humans, we, who kill ourselves for power, we, who poison our air to live, we, who destroy forests for money, we, with our bureaucracy, our cars, wars, reality shows, fuel, jet airplains, cell phones we, the Neozoic man of the Quaternary Age can only argue and destroy each other. The flight continues: a glimpse of the Moon, the Sun appears Mars, Venus asteroid belts Saturn's rings gassy satellites, planets: the Solar System. And again, further away, always further, meteors, comets, quasars, supernovas, The Milky Way. More galaxies, always more, as you go farther and galaxies after galaxies, nebulas, energy fluxes enlighting the void the furthermost galaxies look like stars, new, unknown astral figures take shape in your mind. Unknown colors, incredible visions at the borders of existence. Now stop flying: it's enough. Watch behind you: the Earth, our immense home is now nothing but a particle lost in the infinity. ...Reflect. And now go back, retrace the astral ways, just like the ancient pharaos, the stars dart fast around you, galaxies, nebulas... once again the Milky Way, and there, at its periphery, a small single star: tiny spheres rotate around it, like electrons around a nucleus And again clouds, mountains, streets, houses You return inside you body. Reflect.
	Omnia enim stolidi magis admirantur amantque, inversis quae sub verbis latitantia cernunt, veraque constituunt quae belle tangere possunt auris et lepido quae sunt fucata sonore. Indeed, the stupid most admire and love all that is scarcely discernible, hidden by abstruse words, and accept as true all things that sweetly caress the ear, and that are masked by a pleasant sound. --Titus Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, circa 80 B.C.--
