I just finished reading 'The Fault in our Stars' and came across this statement:
Omnis cellula e cellula, an epigram popularized by Rudolf Virchow, and is transalated as 'Every cell originates from another existing cell like it.'
Sometimes, people aspire to be something big, to do a greater deed, to live a mark as what Augustus Walters want (character from The Fault in our Stars). I'm not saying that we shouldn't dream too big but lately I have understood that we can't all be superstars, there always should be an audience; we can't be all leaders, there should always be a follower and so on. Being the audience or the follower doesn't make us inferior, or the less important one. We shouldn't think that way. As what religion has taught many, in the eyes of God we are all equal and I am supporting this not because I'm a pious person or whatsoever. Let's just say that I realized that all of us are worth something and that something cannot be measured. It is of false nature to think that you are worthless just because you are not like Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein or Pope John Paul II, they are worth something and you are too. Maybe you can't be like them but you could have been their mother who have took care of them, you could have been that person who smiled at them during their dark days, or you could have been their teacher's teacher who gave them a word of motivation. We are all connected and in relation to the title of this article of mine, a part of us has shared something to this world, a word, a smile, a hug, a behavior, a belief that we think is not big enough, but have been passed to someone/something, and that made a difference. As years roll by, you never knew that that something, that little difference will be a part of something big.
