Don't you know how small we are?

Don't you know how small we are?

This kind of situation cannot be counted by any kind of  mathematical method.

You cannot calculate the size of the universe and calculate the size of your body and make a comparison.

The proportion scale  seems to be unlimited and it is meaningless.

Yet we ought to know how small we are.

This afternoon when I was eating a mouthful of chicken meat,  the thought occurred to me suddenly. 

I used to eat chicken meat like this:  I will take away the fried skin and eat only the inner content of the plain chicken meat.   It was completely tasteless.  It was only meat and protein.  Maybe the taste was only in the external fried skin. 

What does it like to eat this chicken meat?   It is not like a mouthful of flour.   It is nothing but chewing. 

You are chewing not meat but a kind of soft plastic.

It was lucky I have a glass of coke with me.   I just washed down the meat with the coke.  Just like flushing it away.

I thought I hate to eat like this.   But it is never an issue in my life.  I am not particularly keen on eating.   It is ok if I can finish it.

What does it mean? 

It seems it is life.   When life is tasteless, it would be like this.

But your life will never be tasteless like this.

You have all sorts of taste in your life.  You can put in salt and you can put in soy sauce and you can put in oil and you can put in sugar to make it colorful and wonderful.

But the inner content is a mouthful of tasteless plain meat.

When you are eating good food, you think you are a king.   When you are eating bad food, you think you are a begger.

Am I a king or a beggar?

Sure I am a beggar.

And now I can tell you how small I am.   Because I have the true feeling of a beggar.

If you cannot know how small you are, you will never know how big is the universe.

Now you have the calculation and the comparison.

And so what!

You are only a tiny dot like a dust on the ground.

You cannot be seen by anyone but yourself.

Don't you think Julius Caesar is great?

No, he is the same.

He is just as small as you and me.

Then what!

Then, if you are a little more thoughtful, you will know where you are and what you should do.

It is meaningless to do bad things.

It is meaningless to consider things in an individual level.

But it could be meaningful if I can think a little more bigger.

Yes, I am small, but I can think big.

Yes, I could have a full eyesight if I can think bigger than the small.

I am not a tiny dust anymore.

I will not do meaningless things like an idiot any more.

Yes, people steal,  people are robbing like mad,  people are doing all sorts of stupid things.

It is absolutely funny and ridiculous.

It is truly small.

I think you will not be the same if you know how to calculate the smallness of things.

If you know it, you are not small anymore.

You will have a meaning in your mind.
