And Then There's Us...

Pulliam got deep in his last post and I couldn't have that happening while I was moaning about missing WoW so I'm posting again. This is something that came to me after meditating a while back...

There's us, each individual a proverbial grain of sand in proportion to our planet;
Our Planet being only a fraction the size of others;
Our greatest, Jupiter is but one within a more vast system;
Which itself is one of billions within a larger galaxy;
The galaxy being only a runt among millions more.
That making up a relatively vast universe beyond which there are god knows how many more.

Now with that in mind the question becomes "do we really matter in the grand scheme of things?"
The simple answer is "no".
Our species could disappear tomorrow and the Earth would go on without skipping a beat because to it we've only been here for the blink of an eye
On an even grander scale, our entire planet could be wiped from existence without the universe batting an eye about it
We're that insignificant
And yet, there is more to it than that…
Even with the fact that we are but a mere speck of dust in the grand scheme of things we still have the reality of our existence to confront.
And the way I see it, it's in our best interest to continue our existence and make as much use of it as we possibly can.
I mean who are we to look a gift horse in the mouth?
Besides, you'll enjoy your pathetic and meaningless life much more that way.
So kids, in conclusion;

We Don't Matter, but That Doesn't Matter…

Any questions? And again, Have a great night...

P.S. Suck it Pulliam!!!
