A pixelated look at how small we really are!

I am often mistaken as a cynic, when I am in fact simply a realist. Cynics damn the world without offering anything back. Realists on the other hand, see what they believe are the flaws, then moan about them in a way they hope can result in positive, constructive change.

Having discussed a lot with friends recently about the current state of social and political apathy our generation is stewing in (more about that in another post), it seems the only real way to stimulate people into actually noticing what roles they play in society as opposed to their own successes and failings in life, is to understand how small and insignificant we might actually be. When we know where we stand in the world, we can then attempt to get up and be counted, right?

So here it is, almost irrelevantly, I came across this snapshot that shows how small we physically are - it's fun, and hopefully constructive!

Thanks David Paliwoda & Jesse Williams for making me feel small.
