smug shrinks humanity

great work by the street art smug.  spotted in glasgow, scotland (via street art utopia).  a couple thoughts:

1. sometimes when i’m ready to kill an annoying insect, i daydream about how i’d feel in its place (minuscule, my life at the whim of a larger being, etc.).  changes my mind now and then.  never works for mosquitoes though.

2. the power of perspective.  you might not be as big or small as you think depending on how you look at the world.  for a beautiful example, check out this scale of the universe.
