Multiply by Zero

We are all connected.

We are one energy.

The earth is like the ocean without water.

Animals are like humans without costumes.

Everyone has an astounding and compounding impact

on every detail in this universe.

The problem many conscious humans have with this concept

is this means individual humans are not special.

Metaphorically, life is like multiplying by zero:

no matter how large a number is,

when multiplied by zero,

it’s always zero.

No matter how grand or beautiful we humans are,

we are all zero.

Our number is no grander than our neighbor’s

or a tree’s

or a spider’s.

At some point, all life ends

and starts over,

back at zero.

There is no greater purpose for us on this earth

than just being a part of it.

But that doesn’t mean the number we are

can’t be whatever beautiful number we want it to be.

We, the numbers, have the right to enjoy our lives

even if we are zero.

We can multiply our life by as many juicy numbers as we want,

because even if it just makes the equation more beautiful,

why not?
