The observable universe has a rough radius of 46.5 billion light-years
And it's expanding
They estimate there are 100-200 billion galaxies in that observable universe
And in our Milky Way galaxy there are about 150 billion stars and 100-200 billion planets
One of those planets
Our planet
Earth
Is 4.2 billion years old
And has 7.2 billion other human souls on it
And we have 8.7 million different kinds of species of life here
30 trillion fish here . . . 30 fucking trillion
In this life full of galaxies, solar-systems, stars, planets, people and animals
AND YOU ARE REALLY GOING TO SPEND YOUR WHOLE FUCKING LIFE FOCUSING ON YOURSELF??!
What the hell??
All of this therapy, psychology and philosophy is the study of the self. . .
And this culture we are in, so self-absorbed. . .
You may think that all the answers you need for life are inside of you
But I think that’s just your ego
I think it’s time to shift your gaze from being solely inward
And look out
To those galaxies
And to those other people here
And to those animals
And realize that the real healing happens in our relationships
That nature heals and teaches
And turn to our animals
Are really see them
We share this planet
We share this universe
And we share the gift of life
Your feelings
Your thoughts
Your emotions
Your self
You are so
So
So
So self-absorbed
And unfortunately
It’s only natural
But I say
Ditch that programming
Chuck it
Burn it
And look for the answers of life outside of your little life
Stop staring in your mirror
And focusing on everything in-between your ears
Stop crying over your feelings
And your broken dreams and schemes
And go think about the 30 trillion fish that live here with you.
