Dear ghost,
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night? Woken up because you could not fathom your existence. When you are frightened to death by the thought that in the endless universe, your life is a speck of dust. The sweat trail your face as you succumb to the fear. Suddenly, the air is too thin and your life is but a dream. Has such fear ever stolen your sleep? It has stolen mine and since, I sometime want to abandon everything and just run and run.
Your dust

We're not just a speck of dust. We're a lot more than that. We're all a lot more than just a speck of dust. But to know this is to know life, to understand this is to understand life. And that's exactly where we fail constantly as human race, as humanity, because we don't know life and we don't understand life, we don't know the meaning of life and we don't understand the meaning of life. We think that we do, but in reality we don't. We all think less of ourselves, we all think we are just a lonely speck of dust that floats in outer space as our beloved Carl Sagan so willingly put it. We don't know how much we truly matter, we don't know how significant we truly are. And it's this belief that we are just a lonely speck of dust that floats in outer space which prevents us from moving forward as human race, as humanity, and from learning more and more about ourselves, about everyone else, about the world we live in, and the Universe itself we exist in. We have the ability to know everything, and yet we don't ever use it, because we believe we are insignificant. We aren't. Our potential as human race, as humanity, is endless, is limitless! We can achieve so much, we can achieve so more together. But sadly we don't know how to cooperate with each other. And the reason why we don't know is because we don't really know who and what we truly are. We are a lot more than we think that we are, we are a lot more than we feel that we are, and we are a lot more than we believe that we are. So as much as our beloved Carl was right, he was also wrong. We are all connected to the Universe. We are all part of the Universe, for the Universe is within us, and we are within the Universe. If that doesn't make you wanna smile, I don't wanna know what makes you smile. You're a marvelous creature with a marvelous mind, marvelous heart, and marvelous soul. You can do anything you want, you can achieve anything you want. You just have to have a little bit of faith and belief in yourself and think of yourself in terms of how significant and special you truly are. God bless you.
