Random fun fact of the day: while there are several political borders all over the world that are visible from space, one of the only former borders to be visible from space is the former one between East and West Germany.
It's not actually the border itself that's visible, however - when viewed at night, the lights in both regions appear slightly different, due to running on seperate electrical grids installed after the border's installation. Despite the falling of the Berlin Wall, the effects of that period of history are still quite literally visible from space!
Of course, not everything we do is visible, but everything we do does have an effect. Not all of those effects are under our control, and sometimes it really does feel like we're on an out-of-control train barrelling somewhere unforeseen.
I just want to say, be good to one another, tread carefully - and above all, be kind. Even just a little. We may not necessarily be special, or important, or visible from space - but we matter. You matter. Kindness matters.
