Have you wondered what it would feel like to walk
around someone hundreds of feet bigger than you? If the dinosaurs were alive,
that could have partially come true. But I guess that part has been better off
for the sake of mankind. Anyway, this random thought came to me when I was
sweeping our front garden one morning. There were dozens of ants scurrying
about their business. I tried not to step on them as much as I could. I paused
and then I realized that I must have stepped on hundreds of ants
unintentionally during my lifetime.
The imagination of a giant is no new idea that I
bring up today. I mean how else would children’s book like Jack and the Bean
Stalk or The BFG by Roald Dahl come up? The idea has always seemed fascinating.
And of course we have all read the Gulliver’s Travels during our young days. What
I thought during my little encounter with the ants in the garden that morning
is somewhat similar to that of Gulliver’s Travels. We might not come across
giants in our lives but we might already be a giant in someone else’s.
Think about it. How would we seem in the eyes of
ants, spiders, bees, flies and millions of other creatures? We are giants for
them. Isn’t that interesting? That’s how nature works. There is always someone
or something bigger and greater than you.
