If we are all Stardust,
Even then are our foes
Even then are the cruelest of us
Even then are the worst of us
Even then is the plagues that hound us
Even then are those who oppress
Even then are those who hate
Even then are those who harm

If we are all stardust,
Then so much for stardust.


I wonder if Carl Sagan knew what he'd be unleashing by becoming the viral point of that quote.

I have seen so many people use it as a rallying cry of scientific spirituality and I still appreciate that. But there has to be a reckoning where if we are all star stuff, then that means the most awful of us are.

I went with Star dust over star stuff because one Fall Out Boy, and two I like the thought of star dust over star stuff.

In a way, I want this to be read with an understanding of "even glorious magnificent things can create awful horrid things as well.
