Colliding Galaxies. Exclamation Point


Recent composite pictures released by NASA et al give us a strikingly clear view into the business of the universe. Two galaxies began the process of collision over 10 million years ago, and we are just witnessing it now in real time. The photo depictions from our angle appear to indicate something similar to an exclamation point.
Could this be a response or commentary of the universe to the colliding galaxies of ideas and opinions here on planet Earth? After all, we are behaving badly lately, and it would be no surprise to find that our boorish behavior elicits shocked responses from other worlds looking on. Humanity these days is a motley crew, with our bickering, destructive ways, arrogance, ignorance, and bloodshed.

Will we take the hint from our neighbor galaxies' signal and examine ourselves through the eyes of the universe. If we are watching them, they could certainly be observing us, and most probably if there is intelligence, with a smirk of derision. Let's get with the program and wise up. Any day will do.
