Got this through the usual forwarded (spam? heheh) mails from friends. When you're feeling overwhelmed by things, looking at such pics really reminds you how minute we actually are.

Planet earth is just one globe suspended in the vast universe.
Tectonic plates are just pieces of land floating on the waters.
Countries are just edges and pieces of land.A small city is just a dot in a country.
And us? Not even a speck.
For sure, whoever / whatever built this living system did not plan for humans to build infrastructure, economic systems, internet, financial industries etc. Only the basic was intended --- for living things to subsist.
So why are we making ourselves so troubled with all these man-made concoctions? Just so we can convince ourselves that we are superior sentient beings?
Just look at the basics in life, and be contented. I know, easy to say, difficult to do, now that we're already caught up in this city lifestyle. But it doesn't hurt to try. Cue the meaningful lyrics in this old Jacky Cheung song:
(曲词:古倩敏)
熙熙攘攘 忙忙碌碌
从没有时间 把我脚步来看清楚
醉了又醒 醒了又醉
哭完又笑 笑完了又会哭
多少问题的答案是说不出
不知寻到是苦恼还是幸福
明知是梦却依然那样投入
光阴无情的巨轮 谁又挡得住
山河大地本是微尘
何况是尘中的尘
是是非非
情情爱爱
你还要不要 紧紧的抱着
舍不得放不开
山河大地本是微尘
何况是尘中的尘
想要解脱
想要受缚
就凭你一颗心去判夺
谁在纳闷 谁在快乐
谁来受生老病死 又会谁来成佛
身如泡沫 如何寄托
心念如电 如何去探索
