I Have Something to Say and I Want to Be Heard
Assuming there are aliens out there and we'll one day meet them I've always wondered what one of the defining characteristics of humanity will be. I've always found one idea the most poetic, and the one I hope ends up being true. And that's people's amazing ability to make the greatest breakthroughs when idly enjoying some of the small pleasures in life.
Such as the scientist the suddenly hits upon the simple equation that lays the fabric of the cosmos bare while becalmed on their favorite lake. Or the playwright that while sitting and watching a sunset suddenly finds the perfect line of dialogue that will be repeated for centuries as a statement on some universal aspect of life on this planet; a line which ends a scene of drama so sublime that it will be studied for equally as long and for the same reason. Or the philosopher that divines the true nature of the human condition while kicking a ball with a complete stranger in a park.
Well anyhoo...it'd be super nifty if that ever ends up being that case.
