If we see the small picture, we appear to be big … very big!

Presidents think they are big in their country...

Generals think they are big in their Army...

Bosses think they are big in their office...

But if we see the big picture, we will realize how small we really are_ v e r y s m a l l

Look at our Earth... Big, isn’t it?

How about now??

...and now??

Now where is our Earth?

Oh! Here’s our Sun!.

This is an “Ultra deep field infra red” photo taken by the Hubble telescope. It shows thousands of galaxies, millions of light years away.

This is merely an enlargement of one of the darkest spots in the previous photo.

So, where are we in the last picture? Or the one before that? Or in the three pictures before that?

The photos taken by Hubble telescope have been there for billions of years, and will be there for billions of years more, who knows?

We humans spend an average lifetime of about 70 years on our miniscule planet in our miniscule solar system in our miniscule galaxy!

Why can’t we spend this “Ultra deep field” miniscule lifespan of ours in peace and harmony?
