This is an image taken by the Hubble Telescope of a cluster of stars. I would not want to be the one responsible for counting each and every one, but it never ceases to amaze me that most of these massive bodies of energy are billions upon billions of years old. Our sun is billions of years old and the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
If we dare to assert that in all this time, we were part of some greater plan, that would mean that we are billions of years in the making! How amazing is that idea?
With such effort, time and energy going into producing us, we certainly have a lot to be grateful for. In addition, we had better make good use of ourselves while we can, because in the grand scheme of things, our lives are merely nano seconds on the timeline of the Universe.
