I'm in awe of civilization. The fact that people play roles in the grand scheme is really cool to me. Some people work; they have jobs. These jobs, however menial, trivial or inconsequential they may seem, are still important. Of course some people play bigger roles than others but the fact remains, everybody contributes something. We're all in this together.

What if some creature from a totally different world or galaxy dropped by to observe the way we exist and operate as a peopled civilization? What would they think of us? Maybe we could learn something from them, or they from us. They'd probably just see us as the petty, puny humans we are and destroy us.
