Beyond our own world

"Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself and found a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder, how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of
people's lives have we been in? Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true? Or were we there when their dream died? Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were
somehow destined to be there? Just think. You could be a big part of someone's life and not even know it."

Every life, every being is something to someone. No one on the face of Earth is meaningless we all have marks on others, good or bad. Our pure existence has impacts on others, to some we may be significant, the centre through their eyes however in others we may mean very little, a background wall flower. But to say someone is nobody it is wrong. Inaccurate from all corners. Strangers in our backgrounds are not strangers to others although they may not directly be a part of our world yet, somehow and somewhere our worlds may collide. Our world is small, small in the sense that it is unmeasurable. Like a small pond everything in the world interconnects a simple ripple by one being, affects many directly, consequently others further from the initial point will experience the waves large or small. The effects may be fortunate or it may crash our world depending where and how we stand in this pond of the world. In the end the devastating flame of pain or the well-waited-for flame of beauty will reach us regardless of our distance from the ignition. Everything matters.
Everything we do. Everything we say. Matters.
The way we treat others matter, our words of kindness or our words that burn with brutality. All our actions have consequences, it may harm or boost others. We all matter. Someone once said, "..bitterness poisons the people around you"
But some may say it is inevitable, but there is no truth to those words. At times we are controlled by our emotions and we may be feeling like we're the one suffering and filled with hurt and hate so we unleash and burst at others. An unhealthy way to relieve anger.
We can unintentionally spill the poisonous anger and pain on to others allowing others to be infected with the disease of hurt. It can be easy to forget others are capable of suffering it is way too easy to be egocentric. As we live in our world. Being the main character in our story of life, our thoughts revolve around ourselves, our wants, our needs. In our own world we are the hero/heroine or victim, making it difficult to realise we are not the only ones in the world. Not the only ones that matter.
Someone could be your everything, everything you ever wanted yet they may have no idea. Or you could mean the world to someone and you don't even know it. Everyone in our background, every minor character in our life is a someone to another. We don't realise this because we don't think beyond our world. We don't realise there is a world beyond our own. Nor do we realise there are greater pain and frustrations beyond the ones we suffer ourself.
It's a complicated concept to contemplate. Our loss is someone's win, our treasures is someone's trash. It's all perspective. We often fail to see beyond our own world.
The things we do, matter. We all carve imprints on to the world with everything we do.
"Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world? Or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives... for better, or worse."
