"is it normal to see the big picture all the time?"

I once observed an education professor (extremely vain yet extremely naive to an amusing degree) return a well written research paper back to a student because it was missing some small insignificant element that the teacher felt should have been there. The student corrected the mistake but got the paper back a second time because it just wasn't 'enough'. On the big scope of things, why did it matter? What went through that teacher's head when she chose to send it back a second time? We are all burning up in the fires of time and will die. Did Jesus burn on a cross for my sins? Perhaps so and maybe Buddha did something too but what about the flying saucer that I watched floating only meters away from me... what about that? I know that something out there exists - we are billions - yet we are far from alone. Existing each day with a 'bigger picture' makes me ill sometimes - knowing something is a fact while the subject of UFO's and Aliens are so open to ridicule. What worsens the feeling is humans acting so self-important and immortal when we should all be humbly preparing to become part of an intergalactic neighborhood through international space exploration projects. Disclosure of the UFO cover-up may just humble a few million very stuck-up (because of race, title, gender, amount of cash, amount of education, whatever) people with or without "bibles" (from any religion) in hand. I was ready for the truth when, as a child, I stared at a beautiful flying saucer just above the treetops. Illuminated Colors rotated around an aperture near the bottom of this sleek, silent, metallic disc. I know that the truth is coming - I just wanna be here to see the smug faces turn to awe. Is there ANYBODY out there that feels like that? Is that NORMAL?

    That which is above is the same as that which is below. All things have their birth from this One Thing by adaptation. In the bigger picture, there exists a microcosm of smaller details. Within each detail is the whole and complete macrocosm that you refer to as the bigger picture. These small details cannot be overlooked for they are the constituent parts of the macrocosm. Beyond the relativistic axioms of "big versus small" and "good versus evil" there exists the state of their completion as a singular whole of two seemingly polarized halves. This apparent divide is the process of adaptation for the whole. The whole is that which adapts. All in all, this is the utmost imminent—a concept of infinite design and possibility. Infinity is impartial and ubiquitous in nature. It transcends even the need for paradigm or definition because at any all instances it has already been defined.

    Big and little are relative terms and don't count out the small picture...take the Sistine chapel for example.

    The big picture of all the art there is amazing...but really fucking boring...however if you look really up close at some of the details you may find some shocking "easter eggs"

    Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel is full of so many "FU's" to the pope at the time it's not even funny...well yes it is. In anyplace you don't get the big without the small and the small is just as important as the big.

    The Universe is massive and truly humbling...however man humbles the Universe in one way. We can give it a name.

    Well, I agree with you on the self-importance of humans as a whole, but I think that we should concentrate on humbly becoming a part of our own earthly neighbourhood first.
