The Small Things

I went outside the other day when the "Super Moon" was suppose to be out and I think I missed it because the Moon didn't look too stunning. As I was shooting away I started to think about how small we really are. Not necessarily in size, though we are small in size comparatively, but  the impact we have when compared to the universe. When I think about it deeply it has hard to comprehend the size of the universe.The human mind can comprehend this...Try and think about it for a moment.

The Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light years away and a light year is equal to 1 trillion miles. The Milky Way is just one of an estimated 100-200 billion galaxies. We could barely set foot on the Moon and the Moon is a mere 221,463 miles away...Grasp that sucka.
Then my mind started wandering and I  remembered  that I thought I would be rolling in a Porsche by the age of 23 but to be honest I could care less now. We are nothing and this life passes by in the blink of an eye. This moon is nothing compared to the universe. I would rather spend my time on something else than gaining some wealth. Obviously we need money, but I would much rather be doing something good than doing something else just for the wealth.

 We all die, every single one of us and I won't be taking a Porsche to the other side when death comes knocking at my door.

Anyways, about the picture, the Moon in the bottom left of the picture in a way reflects how tiny it really is in the dark night.(here it is as a bigger file) Tiny, tiny tiny...
