Sun

When we think of the Sun, we usually think about that thing that provides light during day. We think of angelic sunsets and maybe having sundowners in your local pub, club, restaurant or whatever suits your fancy. It is also the thing that makes some of us look like a lobster(myself included) during summertime. When I say that the sun is SMALL, I wouldn't be wrong?

Looking at the size of the sun, it will take 1.3million planets as big as the earth to fill the expanse of the sun. The sun is 150million km from earth yet is our closest star, between millions out there. It takes the light to travel from the sun to earth 8min and for us to travel to the sun in a spaceship will take 17years. How big is the sun! You will feel safe to know that the energy the sun creates in a second can be compared to the explosion of 92billion nuclear bombs.
Here we are on earth scared of only one of those!

The last time i checked the scale, i came in at 84kg. What i have realised is that i am really small. Not just that, but i have realised that the sun is big. But, compared to the millions of other suns out there, the sun is really small. What does my life really add on this place called planet earth? Compared to something small, something big will always be big, but compared to something big something small will always be small.

In the great scheme of things, my life seems really insignificant. What can I add to this place called earth? I am just a small dot trying to make amends? There might be so many suns out there, but without the specific one we call the Sun, we will be no more than a block of frozen H2O.

So we ask this question. Does my life make a difference? Does my life really matter?
I might not be any of those suns out there, but I am this one here. Looking after what i have been given!

You never know where you're light might shine!
