The Dust Speck Perspective

Have you ever stopped and looked at all of the people walking and driving around? Today I stared out the window of a bookstore in a mall and I was suddenly hit with the fact that I'm so insignificant. There were so many people driving around and all I could do was wonder where everyone was going; what events transpired that led them to wind up at the mall the same time I was there. Maybe someone had to pick up food for their baby. I started thinking about how each and every one of the people around me had parents, had problems in their lives, had hopes, dreams, and aspirations. It made me feel so small. But all of a sudden the moment was gone, everything adjusted, and the world felt normal again...
