      To me, Mark Lenard and Kirstie Alley are the only two actors that actually did a good job following up on Leonard Nimoy’s Vulcan portrayal.

    "In another life, I might have called you friend." That is the essence of the story, I think, and one of my all-time favorite Trek lines. It shows that we're not so different. Different motivations and values, but we're all human and can eventually come together if we would just realize how similar we all really are.

      I can't remember if it was Brooke or Owen, the famed British WW1 poets who addressed the same point some 50 years prior to ST. Paraphrased, "had we met in some pub we've have raised a pint to one another; instead we're facing off in battle trying to kill one another." *All Quiet on the Western Front* somewhat raises this issue when the men are discussing why they're fighting: "Did some tree in France offend some mountain in Germany?" It's really a very profound thought, considering how often war has led to the hostile countries becoming friends and even allies afterwards, as Robert Leckie addresses in his WW2 history *Delivered from Evil.*

    I was a shy, nervous kid. Fearful of change, going places. Star Trek adventures changed my position. I wanted to explore my world and the different people I would avoid. That show opened up the world to me. Got over the shyness and staying within my neighborhood. Came to love traveling to see other places and how people lived in those places.

      Thanks for sharing that! Many people's lives have been influenced by Star Trek, mine included. I was 7 when it first aired, and Spock was the first adult I could actually relate to. I've tried to look at the world logically ever since 🖖

    (cont'd) The reason is that in high school I began really branching out and meeting people on the internet, and seeing different points of view made me reevaluate my beliefs. I don't believe everyone is as smart as me, but I do have faith that this is a trend, because I know too many people who did the same thing, even though we're in close proximity to the Bible Belt. Ignorance decays in the light of knowledge if one opens one's mind, and there are a lot of open-minded people out there.

    Yep. While Star Trek no doubt changed the world, it didn't change it completely. People still value money over virtue, and corruption runs rampant.
    However, I believe I must keep the faith. Without faith that the world will be better someday there is no hope, and without love for fellow man, faith will not exist. 1 Cor. 13:13 is very true: Faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is love. I have love for my fellow man. I'm wise in the way I invest it, but it's there, so I also have faith.

    Perhaps in the future, after older generations have died off leaving the young to rule this planet, we'll come to see how stupid violence and war truly is. The danger with that is complacency of course, which means we need to have people around to inspire the young. Teachers can do this, but rarely I find. If more teachers were taught in college to inspire their students, then we will have better education, and with better education, again, we might have peace.

  • @millenniumf1138
    @millenniumf1138 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    One last thing. Hatred and violence is only perpetuated when people are kept strictly apart, such as by social groups ("blacks" vs. "whites", etc.) or by countries (Iraq vs. Israel). This has been true for centuries, but the difference between the past and the present is the internet. You and I can communicate and learn about each other through the 'net, which removes any racial or social pretext. This wasn't possible a few decades ago, but now we can easily see that we are not so different.

With the advent of the internet, generation Y is coming to recognize that there are human brethren across the pond, because with the internet comes a removal of ignorance, which is the cornerstone of racism and cultural elitism. It's not universal of course, but it is a trend that is gaining popularity, despite trolls and other immaturity existing on the net.
