And when you realize
that you too,
are made of stars,
that history essay on the
Industrial Revolution
doesn't seem to matter.
And when you realize
that the universe is
CONSTANTLY expanding,
the thought of watching
what you eat seems meaningless.
And when you realize
that eventually the sun
will run out of energy,
the people around you
will matter more
than ever before.
And when you realize
how small you are,
you will find your actual
worth.
