Speed of light!

---Light travels at a constant, finite speed of 186,000 mi/sec. A traveler, moving at the speed of light, would circum-navigate the equator approximately 7.5 times in one second. By comparison, a traveler in a jet aircraft, moving at a ground speed of 500 mph, would cross the continental U.S. once in 4 hours.---
This blows my mind! How fast light is and how we don't think about how interesting our world today is. Without light there's no such thing as color. Without light the world would always be dark. In my world when teenagers are in a high tech world light is everything. Concerts! Cities! Computers! Movies! Christmas! When coming encounter with "cool lights" do we stop? Stop and think "I wonder how fast that's traveling"? NOT AT ALL! taking things for granted now is a lifestyle. Little things have so much power behind them it can make them unstoppable!!
I'm back at college now not worrying about anything except understanding classes and getting good grades. But there's always more to life than just that! There's community, people, struggles, emotion! And all of this comes with being in small quarters with others. Living with 4 other girls isn't hard but it is a full struggle. Today I got in a small argument with a roommate over a desk? Tell me that's not foolish! Learning to relate to one another can save a friendship or even create one. But it's the little things like the speed of light and knowing how to react or not to react in a certain situation, that can turn into a huge blessing. So next time you turn off the lights before you fall asleep notice there is no color around you. It's all black and white! Could you handle a dark world everyday? Thank God for what you have and always stay POSITIVE!!!
