Being a science major changed my perspective of life and the stuff around me in ways I didn't think possible. I still remember the day I realized the technicalities of a rainbow and the real meaning of colors. It was depressing but still fascinating, because, really, if you break everything down to elementary particles from one end to the other, there's only a limited number of entities (that we know of) that create us. And it's hard to believe that a very small difference in the microscopic world can have such a huge influence in the macroscopic one. We have the same atoms putting together our bodies but oh, the outcome it's so different for each of us. Yet, zooming out a bit, in between, there are repeating patterns that resemble to a daily human routine. Understanding how the activity of our cells are mirrored at macroscale is simply mind-blowing. Wrapping my mind around such concepts was a wonderful process and made me look at things with other eyes.
"You are the Universe, expressing itself as a human for a little while" said once Eckhart Tolle. Such a beautiful way to encompass the cycle of life as well as our role in it.
