To see oursels as others see us

(via devnull)

The Earth and Moon as seen from Mars. From the Nasa site: This is the first image of Earth ever taken from another planet that actually shows our home as a planetary disk.

Robert Burns seems appropriate here:

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An’ foolish notion
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us
An’ ev’n Devotion

— from To A Louse On seeing one on a Lady’s bonnet at Church.
