Random Thoughts - # 10
Human Limitations
Our perceptions are limited to the extent of what our human senses will allow. Beyond that, there is Someone who knows and understands things and events best and He only has one name -- God.
To an Observer watching events on Earth since the beginning of time, human existence is just a blink of an eye and is therefore as inconsequential as a cigarette butt.
For the sun shall rise in the east, and rain, fall to the ground, as they always have, and this too shall continue as a matter of course, for all eternity long after we're gone, until water has lost all sweetness, to remind us of our nothingness in the grand scheme of things, and that we are but an insignificant dot in the universe.

Thank you for the insightful comment. Too bad you're anonymous.
We may just be a speck in this universe but I believe that even "little specks of dust" have their significance.
