Nearly 9pm and a crescent moon hangs above a still glowing horizon on this windy but warm evening in Kommetjie. A few planets are visible among a scattering of stars starting to appear - the major components of the constellations that have guided travellers on this earth since humanity began. When humanity departs this earth - and it seems as if it hasn't got long to go if our stay here is dependent on peace, love and harmony - these stars and planets will continue to spin in what we call 'space' without having been in the least affected by the crazy goings-on on a very minor rock orbiting a rather insignificant star in an outer spiral arm of a not-terribly-large galaxy.
We could save ourselves a lot of stress by remembering our place in the universe, as mankind continues to fight for dominance over everything that exists on earth, and particularly each other. It's worth a thought that, in the end, what was it all about?
