Are we all just dust in the wind?

Question

The Universe is so immense that we are completly insignificant in this context.
Is the song of Kansas right?

Answer 1

i do.. with varied sense of it.
a dust in the wind,
in a sense that biblical teaching says so.
from ashes to ashes, from dust to dust.
a dust in the wind,
in a sense that scientifically our planet is a small rock in space..
so that makes us all but tiny insignificant dust particles.
a dust in the wind,
in a sense that mentally as humans our mind fly in far dustances
carried by the wind of imagination & wonder.
a dust in the wind,
in a sense that emotionally our heart can be light as a feather..
elevated by the fervor of love, our hopes, our Faith.

a dust in the wind,
so it's either we let ourselves be pulled down by the weight of grievance..
or let us soar lighter & higher from our short earth-bound existence.

Answer 2

Biblical answers are not popular these days. But we are made in the image of God as a species and God did live here as a human being at one point in human history.

In God's holy war against sin and against Satan he sent his only son to war and battle them and won the victory over him and freed man from sin and eternal separation from God.

So from this perspective the Earth is the center of the universe and man becomes the stars of heaven even though we exist hwew on this earth.

That song "Dust In the Wind" is from the group "Kansas".

Answer 3

Well, all in all that is all we are. Some dust came together after a star or two (or a billion) exploded to create this planet. And then dust blew around in the atomosphere and oceans to create life. Therefore, God's hands are the winds of change and the dust is whatever it creates. And of course there's more...

Answer 4

no, I disagree with it. I think that a lot of times we FEEL that way but that's not how things really are. We are all individual people with a purpose in life and future to look forward to. Everyone contributes to this world and some way and because of that, we make an impact. Whether we actually make an impact on the world or just on one person, it doesn't matter because even by impacting one person it indirectly affects others and so on and so forth. People do more than they realize a lot of times.

Answer 5

Its a simple fact, we are so insignificant. The point I would like to make is that it is OK to be insignificant.

Through the help of thought we have learned to become individuals and have identities. As a result we separate ourselves from everything else and it makes it so painful and scary to face a fact like this. We are very afraid of dying and ending. It is just because your thoughts that create you as an individual is always operating and the idea of ending is scary. If our individualism and thoughts die before we actually die physically, everything would be in harmony.

Answer 6

as to dust we are all made of something similiar to it as i understand it everything is made of atoms or things even smaller as to your question are we insignicant compared to the universe no if we ever explored it we would have considerable impact on it look at what impact humans have had on earth imagine what would happen to the universe if humans ever moved off planet in great numbers with out coming to terms with what has been done to the environment on earth if this happens without coming to terms with the impact on earth the universe will not seem so large after all it will not be large enough

Answer 7

It does feel that way sometimes. In 10,000 years none of us alive now will be remembered.
Sometimes just lazing around in the backyard and looking at the blades of grass, it's hard not to wonder if there are just as many galaxies or whatever out there as there are blades of grass or even specks of sand on our planet.
