Are you feeling the blues? If so, I have just the thing for you. It's a little trick that I've always used when something goes wrong for me and it works every time. Consider this a little belated Christmas present from me.
Whenever you're feeling sad or disappointed about something. Repeat the following passage and let your imagination run loose a little.
"
Picture this. You and me, the humans and thousands of other species. The mountains and the tropical forests. The deserts and the sea. Oh, and don't forget about the deep ocean creatures. Ahh yes the deep sea, still very uncharted and unexplored. The giant squid and the weird glowing fish. All these wonders and mystery, and we are only talking about planet Earth.
Of course, tiny little Earth. Third Planet from the Sun. Of which, there are 9 (supposedly 10 now) other planets orbiting around that giant ball of fire. Think about the Milky Way and the Solar System and the nine planets. Jupiter, biggest planet of the system. Pluto, "Is it or is it not a planet?" is the debate that is raging on right now.
And this is only our galaxy. There are countless more galaxies in our universe and still it is not stagnant as the universe is constantly expanding.
All the galaxies and the planets. The comets and the asteroid belts. The birth of a star and the death of one. Black holes. Is there life out there? Will we find them? Will they find us? What about Earth? Will the human race eventually be extinct? Will we be submerged in water eventually as a result of the melting of the ice-caps? Or will we just save Mother Nature all the trouble and just blow each other up? Over-population? It's a very real problem, no doubt. I might not live long enough to see all this unfold though. I'd like to think of it as a blessing rather than a curse.
Which sets this one up real nicely. Really, I mean seriously, think about this, in the grand scheme of life, amidst ALL of this, really, friend, how fucking significant do you think *sniggers* a bloody assignment deadline is? *sniggers*
I mean, seriously.
