    Because it represents a connectedness to everything that surrounds us

    if the fact we look alike (as humans) have not provided enough of this togetherness to overcome racism, I doubt an abstract notion, that will completely fly over the heads of precisely the people that need it most, will do anything

      While I partially agree with your sentiment, I am nonetheless a little confused why we’re trying to solve racism here all of sudden.

      I just see it as a beautiful little metaphor for life. Sometimes things don’t have to serve a bigger purpose than just being beautiful.

      It’s a humbling thought, we are but stardust and that’s what we, and everything else will eventually become again.

      And it’s not even something esoteric or magical, it’s just the physics of the Universe as we understand them.

        I just assumed that was the case with the whole “togetherness” comment. If it’s just some cutesy pleasantry, then it’s not even worth discussing
