SUI GENERIS

Of Its Own Kind

By Mackenzie Clench

How do you feel when someone calls you special? Unique?

Many of us scoff at such words. We think ourselves unimportant because we're just one of 7 and a half BILLION other carbon-based contestants appearing on the game show of life, waiting for the inevitable call to "come on down!"

We believe such twaddle because, for us, this big, blue marble seems vast.

It isn't.

Apollo 11 Astronaut Neil Armstrong famously commented that from lunar orbit, he could blot out the entire Earth with his thumb - an act that drove home just how tiny, and precious, our planet truly is in the Big Dark.

When you consider that every single human-shaped that has ever existed - every thought, every dream, every hope, every conflict, every life, every death - is contained on a tiny blue white ball floating all alone in the night... you begin to see just how utterly incalculably precious life you truly is.

How unique and precious YOU truly are.

There is, has been and only ever will be, one YOU. You will never happen again.

NOW how do you feel?

Just one out of 7.6 billion... or one of a kind?

Yeah... that's what I thought.

Carry on...
