Sand
A grain of sand.
Has 48,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.

We are insignificant.
We are expendable.
We are footprints in the snow.

Determinism. It's scientific.

And the past is the only past that could have ever been.
You are not to blame.
You cannot change things.
But you have to act as if you can.
Your past is not your fault.
Consciousness.
We are in this together.
Enjoy.

Touch is our most powerful form of self awareness.
Weird huh.

Is it a sign of the times,
That my phone knows me better,
Than anyone else ever will.

Know
We can hide who we are,
But only from ourselves.
Others see us much more clearly.
Know thyself.
It is a difficult thing to do
