Each of us is important to the others. Each has a place in the community, a place in the world. To illustrate - and gain some perspective - we briefly examined ourselves in relationship with the rest of the universe through the drawing of several concentric circles, each representing a larger part of the universe containing the smaller parts inside it.
| | In Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss wrote, "A person's a person, no matter how small." How true! An individual in today's world can still make a difference. When I affect another, and that one affects others around him/her (and so on!), I can take a certain amount of pride in knowing that I have affected a piece of the world that is even greater than my immediate surroundings. My presence in the world is absolutely important. |
