LIFE

How big is life?

On the one hand, it is everything. Imagine a world without you. Yes, it would exist, but it is hard to imagine because all our knowledge, all our understanding, all our awareness of the existence of the world is filtered through our senses. Without life, we cannot perceive the world, and therefore it ceases to exist along with us.

But life really is quite small, too. Each of us will one day pass on, handing over the torch to a new generation. And the universe will pretty much unfold as it had before and as it will again. Once life changes very little.

In the end, life is as big or as small as you make it, as you perceive it. What perception will you place on the life you make?
