Day 2441: Important Yet Unimportant

Each one of us is so important and yet so unimportant at the same time – that’s what I have realized.

Last night laying in bed thinking about the beauty of nature and I remember thinking the sky is so blue the trees are so green the same God who created all that also thought to create me needless to say I felt very special I guess because I am special to God it’s very weird I know the world wouldn’t be the same without me but I also know the world would still keep spinning without me…I am so very important and yet so very unimportant at the same time.

“The people of this ancient land embraced me in their limitless love, and I’ve learned from these people that neither power nor poverty can make your life more magical or less tortuous. I’ve learned from the people of my country that the dignity of a life, a human being, a culture, a religion, a country actually resides in its ability for grace and compassion. I’ve learned that whatever moves you, whatever urges you to create, to build, whatever keeps you from failing, whatever helps you survive, is perhaps the oldest and the simplest emotion known to mankind, and that is love. ” – Shah Rukh Khan
