How Small yet Big we are!

The universe spans over gazillions and gazillions of light years and parsecs... so big that it's an infinity in itself. Us humans are not even properly aware of what lies inside its unknown boundaries, how will we discover what lies beyond it? The most monstrous stars, the largest planets, the most gargantuan of galaxies - all are but a speck of dust if we take the universe to be a tremendous desert.

Do you expect it to remember you?

You, who are equal to nothing in front of the boundlessness of the universe. You, who doesn't even remember to remember yourself, forget others. Do you expect the universe to make you feel special?

If we take the whole universe to be a calendar, you are but a speck in the last millisecond of the last second of the last minute of the last month, not even visible, hidden in the shadows of Time. Do you matter, then?

Do you expect this vast expanse to work for you?

As for me, I can heave my chest and proudly say, 'Yes!'

You must be wondering, why do I say so?

I believe that we are part of the universe, and it is up to us what choices we make and how we execute our work. Don't we feel good if we do it properly? Maybe the universe doesn't work for you, maybe someone else doesn't care about you - you care for yourself and make yourself feel special. Because in the end - it's up to us what we do in our lives, which is more meaningful and important than what the universe does for us in our lives.

If we try our best in everything, do the toil ourselves, the universe will surely notice you. It'll reward you!

I am as much a part of the universe as you are, or the Milky Way Galaxy is, for value doesn't depend upon how big or small you are, it's about how big or small your heart is. Appreciate yourself, the things around you. Appreciate everything as the universe, as a part of the universe... just like you.

Sit down in the lap of nature and breathe the clean, fresh air. Notice the aesthetic creations of nature and regard them as your brothers and sisters, make them your family. Fill your heart with happiness, however dark the times may be.

And the universe will appreciate you.
