It's Sunday today and I wanted to write about something which is very important and thoughtful and least seen/thought or observed by people. After lots of things/ideas striking my mind I am stuck with this mindful of questions how immensely big our universe is ? Have you ever thought about it? I discovered a video on youtube that I can add to this article. The video will say most of what this article is meant to say, just listen to each and every word of narration carefully.
In 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope took the image that shows our place in the universe. Anyone who understands what this image represents, is forever changed by it.

This is the Hubble Deep Field – the furtherest photo into space we have ever taken. There are well over 3000 objects in this photo and they are not just stars, they are entire galaxies. If you were to look at this section of sky through the naked eye it would equate to roughly the size of a grain of rice.
In this video below, the Tony Darnell the narrater talks about the Hubble deep field. The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) aperture telescope in low Earth orbit, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. (From Wikipedia)
I can recall the Carl Sagan's pale blue dot. Watch out the youtube video and listen to words of Carl Sagan his words cannot be replaced by anyone living today. And so I will not attempt to say the same thing what Carl mention, his words are clear and easy to understand what message he gives.
So if you understood, how small we are in this cosmic scale with a life expectancy of 65-70 years at an average in comparison to life of stars that shine in the sky and the stars we are made of how can we be so arrogant to kill one another or to drive away with the new car just bought thinking we bought the whole road and can do whatever we want of the wealth that will be with you for just a moment.
I hope you enjoyed reading, watching and listening the article (or the message, I should say). I would really like to have few words from you.
