THIS World

Just for a moment I want you to think about this world. This world in which we live...

A planet unlike the rest in our solar system.
A solar system so expansive we can't even begin to imagine the space beyond.
A solar system filled with other planets, all circling the same burning hunk of material.
A planet w/ salt water and fresh water.
A planet with trees, forests, tundras, deserts, ice lands, tropical climates and dry climates.
A massive rock with living beings so numerous we haven't even found them all.
A planet with plants that you can eat for nourishment and others that will kill you.
An atmosphere filled with the exact correct amount of gases to keep all these completely different living beings alive.
A planet where you can theoretically see all of this in one day but the majority of living beings rarely, if ever, see more than their small section of the land or water.

Each day every living being wakes up on Earth.
Every living being seeks nourishment for the day.
Every living being takes in O2 or CO2 (forgive my ignorance here) or whatever gas they need to survive.
Every living being requires rest to do it all again the next day.

It's quite amazing that we have what we have to survive. Furthermore, we humans (and I'm guessing some animals as well) have adapted to create more things that we don't need but rather want to survive. And we continue to survive, create, thrive, and build on each other's successes and creations. We, as a species, are always looking to improve and build on what we have. Sometimes we do make things better. Sometimes we make things more interesting. Sometimes we mess up a good thing. But we never stop. We continue to seek more from this amazing world in which we are housed.

Now, bring yourself back to where you are sitting and reading this. How do you feel? Contemplate that for a moment.
Small?
Powerful?
Insignificant?
Creative?
Happy?
Fearful?
Lonely?
Loved?
Useless?
Important?

It really doesn't matter how you feel. What matters is that we are all in this together. Each human reading this has needs, wants, and feelings. Each human reading this is breathing the same air as the other living beings on the land.

Each human reading this is an important part of this world. 

For without each human, and each living being, it wouldn't be THIS world.
