The next time you feel self-absorbed and all high and mighty about yourself, remember this: Our earth is 4.6 billion years old, bacterium appear 3.5 billion years old, 570 million years ago marine life develop, 5 million years ago the first ape-men appear, common ancestor of modern humans in Africa lived 100 thousand years ago, first recorded human history is 6000 years old...there you go. You are but a molecule of dust among the specks of dust that make up all that we know.
