the title of this actually only pertains to the song I'm listening to, but it brings up a good point. A microscopic point. If we are only one person, in a timeline that has been sort of determined but honestly not really, in a species that only exists on this planet, in a planet filled multiverse....then what ripple can we make? What's the point? I don't say that in a negative way, just merely wondering how tiny we are in the scheme of things? (side note, I just did a quick spell check because I spelled scheme wrong and I knew it....and this program doesn't know the word multiverse. Funny, yet not quite discovered yet....however, inevitably true eventually).
So our size....back to that. I like to look at the macro side of life.....enjoy bugs, tiny details, observations and life on a level that most shrug off. But even if you zoomed in to the higher details, rather larger details that are me, my family, my vision, heck even celebrities....none of it matters that much in the grand scheme of things. It's kinda depressing. You live every day, worrying, wondering (a whole lot of it), wishing, etc....but what for? I don't mean to be that depressing guy with that depressing thought....I'm just saying it literally. Funny thing is, I think this now but tomorrow I will be pondering over some emotion that really doesn't add up in the grand scheme of things. Some peptide revolving around my hypothalamus that doesn't have any effect on anything but that particular moment....
I was staring at Betelgeuse and Rigel tonight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Orion_constellation_map.png and thinking about how they completely dwarf our sun, much less us....and then thinking back, nearly zooming in on myself, and I realize WTF. My emotions actually go whack during moments like this...should I think YEAH THIS IS AWESOME!!! or rather 'holy crap....life is so short, enjoy as much as you can while you are around'?
I also feel wonderful.....but I nearly can stand it, all at the same time. What's one tiny human brain supposed to think?
I think I just realized something this very moment. My thoughts won't go on.......but those thoughts of others (which could be effected by me) will go on. Powerful.
Right now I can say, I love everything. No lie.....also, I wonder about everything that ever existed.
