Alright i was sitting on a beach with this girl staring out at lake ontario and i just thought how insanely big it is i mean the CN Tower is huge and i couldnt see it across the lake. the lake is that big. than i started thinking the lake isnt even THAT big, i mean on a map lake ontario is like a centimeter by 3 centimeters than theres like the oceans and there like 70 by 50 and there usually not drawn to scale. how much of that has actually been explored i mean that water goes really deep there could be tons of stuff down there... like star wars stuff or something there could be this mad crazy species of wild predators that could kill us all and we dont even know you see all this stuff about alien invasions from outer space but we havent even explored our entire planet. i mean compared to lake ontario im small, to an ocean tiny to the entire world (not just the surface but underwater) i'm so insignificant yet we all want to make a mark on the planet we all want to be remembered long after were dead i know i would like to think strangers will say my name decades after my bones are dust and wonder what i was like, how passionate i was, how fierce i could be, and how feeble i felt. but the world is big i mean huge. i don't think alot of people notice how enormus the world is how many matters of cosmic importance there are and still are bothered by trival things like what people think of an outfit and if some chick likes me. |
