Puny Lives -

Have you ever seen the movie A Bug’s Life?

Do you remember when Hopper compares an ant to a grain of wheat? He was telling his disciples that one ant is harmless.

That’s us.

Each and every one of us is harmless. We go about our lives living day to day on the fact that we are as powerless as an one puny ant.

Or course, there are exceptions, like Flik. There are a few of us who stand up for what is right. Those few want to change the world, but what is a few grains of wheat? Hopper threw those at his followers to show them even if a small number of ants stood up to them, they were still harmless.

We are harmless beings after all.

But in the end, he poured all the grain and crushed his unfortunate supporters. All of our puny lives can add up to a crushing wave of change. What is one voice to a choir? If we all stand up against what is wrong in the world, what choice will the world have but to surrender to the masses. We may not be able to make a difference as individuals, but we can change the world for the better if we stand together and fight for what is right.
