What am I ??

Recently I read an article written by Dr. Agni Vlavianos-Arvanitis which I found quite interesting and the following lines in the article have deeply touched me so I am reproducing them here with a feeling of great admiration.

Our planet is only a small part of the universe. Our galaxy contains over one hundred billion stars, and there exist billions of other galaxies. From what we know up to the present, bios exists only on our planet. We thus possess the most precious gift of creation.

"Galaxy or galaxies are small dimensions not infinity Neutrons are small very small not infinity And what am I a neutron to the galaxyor a galaxy to the neutron?"

Mother Earth

In most of the old cultures and religions earth was considered as mother . In India we still consider Earth as mother . Gaia , the Earth Goddess was revered as the supreme deity in the early pre-hellenic Greece . . The idea of the Earth as living being continued to flourished throughout the middle ages until the whole world was changed due to rapid industrialization and modern economic concepts . During ancient time ecology was the centre point of all human activities and in medieval period the religion was centre point ,but now the economics has replaced the religion and all human activities are revolving around economics , that is why we consider the earth as a source of raw material for economic development without any ecological consideration .
