Well it seems like forever and a day since I last put anything up here. For that I apologise I hope that you will be able to forgive me for that. But none the less I have been about I have just been either very busy. Or battling with a new foe in the form of ennui. So what has changed around here? Well I have put in that fancy twitter widget so if you have twitter give me a follow I don't spout much more insanity than I do over here. Hell chances are if you read this you would enjoy seeing slightly less nonsense than I put here.
However back to my point. You! yes you right there in front of the interwebs screen reading this. Have you ever considered yourself? Now I know that last time I was here I talked about the very big. Yet now I want you to think about your place in that universe. Consider again the relative scale of the universe we all know that it is mindbogglingly huge. Now think about yourself, you are compared to that as an atom is to our perception. Yet that is not a bad thing, despite this limitation you are part of a species that has done such incredible things we have clawed our way off our speck of a planet to breach into the dark void of the universe. Consider just how infinitesimal small we are and yet we still have the gall to permeate into this place of horror. After all when it is 149,600,000KM from the earth to the sun. Which is 8 minutes for the speed of light which is 299 792 458 metre's per second. This combined with the fact that the average human male is 2 metre's tall, it puts some of the size of the Universe into some slight measure of size to the universe. Yet I still can only barely conceive of such a size. Yet this tenous grip I have is more terrifying than anything else I have ever considered.
But despite that terror it reaffirms my faith in our species, after all we these tiny specks dares to breach this insurmountable size, as we venture forth into the space and more people look back on our beautiful planet will they do as many have in the past and realise, just how small we are and accept the pointlessness of so much we have conflict over. I often wonder why it is that we are the dominant species on this planet when it often seems that the only true application we have used our minds is to improve our ability to kill each other. Then I remember that also we dream and dare to touch the impossible I might be terrified by space and the size it represents. But my god if I was given the opportunity no force on earth could stop me from going out there.
In this modern society we have developed many personal problems due to our society having outgrown our evolution but sometimes perhaps it would be better if we just took a step back from it all if only for ten minutes just to step outside and look up. Look at those stars try and grasp just how far that light has travelled just to reach us. Then consider that we teeny tiny little humans, essentially tiny specs in the cosmic fabric. We are trying to reach out to that and see what's out there. Mostly for no better reason than because it's there, yet to be honest do we need a better reason? There is such beauty in our one lonely planet, imagine just how much there must be in our mind-shatteringly vast Universe.
