So Small

There are over six billion people on this planet…
That makes me feel quite small…
Really small…
Like an ant…

And then I imagine what being an ant feels like…
There are tons of ants…
And tons of people that can stomp all over those ants…
Poor ants…

One ant could make such a big impact though…
If you step on an ant, a whole family of ants would be devastated…
Who knows, their wife could've been in labor…
Or their child could be at their first day of school…

That one tiny ant that you trod on is dead…
And it had a wife…
And kids…
Poor ant…

And then I think of how huge we are to ants…
We're so humongous to them…
But we're so little to each other…
So very little…

Tiny in fact.
Like that poor ant you stepped on…
I stepped on an ant today...

this makes me feel so horrible about stepping on ants. I don't mean to... they're just so little!!!
