Captain Reynold's Zen

From the end of Joss Whedon's movie Serenity, Malcolm Reynolds teaching Summer the lesson of flying the ship Serenity:

"Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home."

The earth is our boat. All her inhabitants our crew. Love and listen.

Nice sentiment. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone took this view of ship Earth?
