It's a small small world

This based on this documentary “The inconvenient fact” screen during my tuition today and…

Well, I realized how small we really are in the universe. Whatever we have accomplished, all the technology and stuff are all contained on the minute cavities of earth, a speck of dust literally in the infinity of the universe. Its really time to realize how small we really are. Does everything really matter? Does my very existence as an individual really matter in this huge world? I exist on a miniscule deviation from the infinity on one of the many billions of gigantic celestial bodies, planet earth, less than one percent of the total mass of the huge universe, in an even more random red dot, Singapore, currently in a miserable square metres tiny cell, held erect by 4 fragile structures. That’s me, perhaps that’s you as well, it very well describes many as one of the random organisms sustained today beneath the living atmosphere. I’m random, everyone is, you are, or once were, its up to you since the final verdict that earth’s very random existence determines all. I’m existing today, you are as well cos we might never know what random fates tomorrow might bring.

Yes, we seek to dominate, we seek to command, all verdant nature brings, all universe offers, all but ourselves. We failed to conquer ourselves and never will. How can we guarantee Earth’s existence when minor conflicts like everyday jealousies and selfishness kills our very souls, when the real revolutionizing conflicts like the war on terror threatens the prospect of Iran’s nuclear prospect with people around me showing expressions of the blissfully ignorant? But still, it’s a small world out there when there’s a larger unthinkable infinity. Ask yourself, do these really matter? Does the war concerns the universe? Does hostility really sells? Do you use it to further your own interests which actually matters nothing very much to our universe’s welfare? If the roof collapses on your head this very moment, what difference would it make between those very seconds of existence and non-existence? One more random name on the death register? Meh, you’re just one of the billions and trillions of individuals on our once again random existing planet earth in the universe, which never ruled out the possibility of another larger universe out there…and so on.

Our whole caboodle of delicate card structures, intricately weaved in technologies, painstakingly built and blasted architectures as a result of men’s enemy as men. We destroy ourselves. Think, just think, what matters to you most right now? Then think, what importance has it got to do with the vast world out there? We treasure, we value because we attach and relate to them, however small they might be, however intangible they might be. Yes, fortunately they exist, even after we deny our existences. Earth is a mistake of placing all eggs in a basket but I should think its meant to be in this way. Its nature’s way of putting us to the test. The strongest will succeed, remember? I can’t help thinking of Earth as a biosphere. Once our species vanishes, another group intelligent beings will appear and are once again being put to the test. This trail and error cycle… Nothing is ever ideal, just how close we get to its sacred boundaries.

Forgive, but don’t forget, accept. Once you get the idea of how small your everyday conflicts really are, really mean to our very existences as mere individuals in the infinite and random universe, you really do learn and make peace.
