Curio5 516 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Word of Wisdom from Mr. Tony Bennett. At 90 years old, he has a very unique perspective. His message can change the world ... if we allow it to. “All my life I’ve been a humanist. But what really put this into focus for me was the day, 44 years ago, when I saw this photograph for the first time: our planet Earth, taken from outer space. I remember being so captivated, thinking about what it must have been like to frame the entire world between two fingers. What a perspective. All the tribulations, the wars, the prejudice—and everything that divides us—simply melt away when you realize that we’re all together on one planet and that every problem should have a solution. As Ella Fitzgerald used to say to me, ‘Tony, we are all here.’ ” http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2016/07/how-a-photo-of-planet-earth-changed-tony-bennett-forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo 7,808 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I love the perspective. I've never thought of the photo that way since it's always existed in my lifetime. Don't visit my profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAdrian97 869 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It's true. Its crazy to think with everything we get caught up on were just little specks on this earth and this earth is a small speck in this universe. All our problems are so worthless in the grand scheme of it all. This probably isn't the message Tony was talking about but its what comes to my mind when i see pictures like this.
