Perspective

"We are all something, but none of us are everything."
     ~Blaise Pascal~


     Do we think too much of ourselves - or too little? We may have tendencies towards one end of the spectrum or the other. Or we may go back and forth between two extremes, convinced of our importance one day and our insignificance the next.
     We all have a place in the world that is significant; we all matter. The trick is not to think that we matter more than anyone else in the world.

I can be happy with my place in the world, without distorting it one way or another.
