howdy, fellas!
For those of you in ASOTA like myself, welcome to Spec Week! Should be a good one this year!
Otherwise, let’s talk about Pascal’s thoughts on Man’s Disproportion.
While reading this I was caught up in realizing just how small we are in comparison to the world, the galaxy, the universe. I don’t know about the rest of you, but sometimes I’ll be standing somewhere in Saraland or wherever I happen to be, and I get caught up in the fact that the world is so big and so filled with individuals racing through their own journeys. How crazy.
Pascal said it best with, “Returning to himself, let man consider what he is in comparison with all existence, let him regard himself as lost in this remote corner of nature; and from the little cell in which he finds himself lodged, I mean the universe, let him estimate at their true value the earth, the kingdoms, the cities, and himself. What is a man in the Infinite?”
We are minuscule in comparison to everything else, and it is almost impossible to truly know why everything is the way it is. If nothing else, it can be a humbling experience.
