Assignment 21- Ben Lambert

Right now, somewhere in the universe, wars are being fought. Lives are beginning, and lives are being brought to an end. People are falling in love-whether it be with other people, activities, items, etc- and divorce papers were just signed. Someone is learning to play the piano, while another is quitting their life-long passion of music. Someone just lost their job, and someone was just employed. Right now, a starving dog is walking the cold streets of New York City while another is being cradled in its loving home. Someone is reading a classic work of literature, while a young writer looks to create the next one. And it's all happening right here on Earth. People always wonder about what's happening somewhere out there, whether extraterrestrial life exists, and what other planets are like. Bored with our lives here, we become so infatuated with the unknown that we block out what we do know and are capable of doing. But when taking a step back, it becomes apparent that Earth isn't so boring after all.
