"Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us as well."
I chose this quote because it really made me step back and think of what my importance was here on earth. After the quote he mentioned that in one of the lower organs near your stomach there is more bacteria than there is people who ever lived on the planet. So, to the bacteria we are their universe. This was a crazy revelation for me because I just went about my day not realizing how insignificant my life is compared to the universe. So many people including me want to live their lives having an impact on the world/universe and be remembered. Sadly the chances of that happening is really small. So, is it even worth it to bust my butt trying to make an impact on the world when i'll just be forgotten? I'm just a grain of sand that's going to get washed away. Although the cause may be hopeless, there is something inside me that keeps pushing me to desire to make an impact on the world/universe.
