We make ourselves the centers of our universes. Well, most of us. I, me, myself…..
I wonder, if we kept in mind the actual size of the universe, would we still do the same? Karen Shanley, in her recent post talks about the relative size of astronomical objects and it is enlightening to know that ‘our world’ is so minuscule in the actual universe. And this is the universe that we have discovered. Who knows how many undiscovered universes are floating around.
If we keep Karen’s beautiful pictures in our minds, they would probably help us keep our egos out of things and situations. And dealing with stuff would be so much easier.
The next time a person brings their ego into a problem thereby making the problem worse, I would tell them, ‘Do you know the size of Antares’? And what do you know? There goes their ego crashing down!
