    Damn I'm a big sissy!

    I blubbed at this (video) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26784669
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Mark me down for the sissy brigade too. I nearly blubbed as well.

    Must be incredible to go from complete silence to sound.

    Wow. Can you imagine what it must be like to experience music for the first time?
    Thanks for sharing. That clip just made my day.

    Yeah, you are a complete pussy!

    (okay, I saw this earlier on today and was like...oh, that's actually really fucking heart breaking, yet totally uplifting at the same time).

    So nice to see good/positive news.

    We can't even begin to comprehend what this woman actually went though at that monet...we really can't...
