I am reading the book "I Was Just Wondering" by Phillip Yancey, a book of many questions and a few answers. There are a couple of questions that I am pondering and as I watched a video (that really has nothing to do with nature), I had a "wow" moment. My wow moment: It isn't about us. I know this to be true in my mind, but it's hard to understand with my heart. I know the world doesn't revolve around me, personally, but sometimes I think it does around us as humans. Yet, we aren't the only thing in the world. No, I won't become an extreme environmentalist, but I have more awe of God. I also hope it will decrease selfishness and self centered perspectives in my life.
Do you want to know the other quote that has me thinking quite a lot?
Why does man feel so sad in the twentieth century? Why does man feel so bad in the very age when, more than in any other age, he has succeeded in satisfying his needs and making over the world for his own use? - Walker Percy
Good ponderings! Love you!
