A barely visible clump of the earth…

Find the man in the distance. He seems to us as insignificant as an ant. And there, within him, is the whole world, long history, oceans of feeling.

There are billions of them, and we all are such invisible ants.

This idea helps me to lower the nose of greatness. And to be glad that I – a barely visible clump of the earth – was discovered and loved by someone.
