The Weekly List - Why people are fucking AWESOME.

Saturday, July 13, 2013
1. We created vaccines, which have saved more lives than any other scientific discovery in the history of the world.
2. We cry for one another. Even strangers.
3. We spend a significant portion of lives either learning from or teaching each other. Usually both.
4. We recognize that we will be judged by how we treat the least among us and act accordingly.
5. We've sent people to the Moon. To the fucking moon. With 1960's era technology.
6. We create art, in all its forms and splendor.
7. We see that some people just need to be taken care of. So we do.
8. We seek out the divine, in whatever way makes sense to us, in order to connect with something larger than ourselves.
9. We're capable of devoting our lives to a single idea, whether that idea is figuring out the secrets of the early universe, a cure for cancer, or an analysis of our ethics.
10. We consistently run into danger in order to save one another.
