Does Size Matter?

Little. Big. Wide. Far. Too late. Not enough.

People define their own significance often and too much by how other's treat them, or what  another offers them in way of tangible things or emotional fortitude. In a small way, I suppose I get that because I tend to  be a people pleaser to the people I love and care about and I have a giving nature. But you don't have to "do it big" to get your point across. Love is finite. Either you love someone... or you don't. Should it ever be a question of how much?  If they love you, then even the little love someone may have for should mean a lot. The importance lies in the fact that they love you. And that is enough. Period.

We are a universe of measurements. We measure emotion, earthquakes, penile length and breasts(sorry, but I'm a middle aged woman and you know we have sex on the brain 24/7) endurance, plots of land, amount of hamburgers sold in the world, and of course the breadth of someone's love. There is measurements of eve-reeeee-thing. We have become a quantitative society. Especially since the advent of technology when everything can be counted, tallied, and computed swiftly. I will always yearn for the ideal of a qualitative society.. and I suppose there are a lot of humans that feel the same as I do but for one reason or another, being lack of time (a measurement), lack of money (another measurement), lack of hope, they feel like their contribution to the universe or another's life would be inconsequential. These are the ones that think that something little doesn't mean a lot; that a drop in the bucket doesn't help an iota. That a hug means nothing, a smile nil. These things are immeasurable but they are doable and the completion is the only thing that matters.  Individually or collectively, anyone can make a difference.

Truth Be Told: The best things in life can't be measured or calculated..... because they are free of course.  People go through life trying to accomplish "big things" when it is the "little things" that are the true successes.  I tend to get wildly enthusiastic about the little things, but only because they give me the biggest smiles. It's the little things that are always the true blessings anyway.  Right?
