Records of Human Life

"The Voyager Golden Records are two phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The records contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. The records are considered as a sort of a time capsule." Voyager Golden Record, "Wikipedia"

I came to know about the "Golden Records" through a Vox video on Youtube. As the video portrayed the images one by one, it was fascinating to see how we as human beings portrayed ourselves. Language, science, humanities, culture. Every aspect of human life was slowly unfolding within the photos. 

Comments stated that photos of disease, war and violence were left out. After I saw the last photo, my eyes shifted. It moved further and further back and perhaps looked into humanity in God's perspective.

Despite the terrors, violence, hunger, pain, disease, and all kinds of natural disasters pressing down on people, God sees the good in all, his beloved creation. I thought about how marvelous he must have seen us grow and flourish. Truly a wonder we are.
