Before you judge


Before you judge others or claim any absolute truth, consider that you can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum.  
As you read this, you are travelling at 220 kilometers per second across the galaxy.  
90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not 'you.'  
The atoms in your body are 99,9999999999999999% empty space and none of them are the ones you were born with, but they all originated in the belly of a star.  
Human beings have 46 chromosomes, 2 less than the common potatoe.  
The existance of the rainbow depends on the conical photreceptors in your eyes; to animals without cones, the rainbow does not exist.  So you don't just look at a rainbow, you create it.  
This is pretty amazing, especially considering that all the beautiful colors you see represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.
