THE DISTANCE TO THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY (7/20/21)

9:09 AM (7/20/21): "The Andromeda Galaxy is located about 2.53 million lightyears away from Earth, and is the largest 'major' galaxy... in our proximity... Given that there are approximately '5.87' trillion miles in a lightyear (the distance one travels, if moving at the speed of light for a year - 186,000 miles/second)... that implies there are 14,914,073,000,000,000,000 miles (14.9 'quintillion miles').... in between Earth, and that galaxy..." - Michael Izuchukwu

9:25 AM (7/20/21): "By contrast, the moon is 238,900 miles away from Earth ('on average')... That implies that the Andromeda galaxy, is 62,428,100,000,000 (62.4 trillion) times further from the Earth... than the moon..." - Michael Izuchukwu

GOD'S PLAN... (7/19/21)

8:44 AM (7/19/21): "With God, all things are possible... but only if you genuinely believe in Him... Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price, for the redemption of the sins of humanity... and there are many cinematic parallels, to people with 'savior-like' complexes... Henry Cavill's 'Superman (Clark Kent)' is perhaps most iconic in recent films... for showcasing how 'great spirits have frequently encountered violent opposition, from mediocre minds'... as Albert Einstein had once stated..." - Michael Izuchukwu

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE, BETWEEN THE NATURAL AND THE UNNATURAL... (7/18/21)

 

10:21 PM (7/18/21): "Albert Einstein once said, 'Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better'... Aside from his scientific contributions to mankind ('his invention of the 'Theory of Relativity,' and discovery of the photoelectric effect), he seemed to have a spiritual disposition... and was quite outspoken, on matters pertaining to ethics and virtue... Throughout the course of history, there are those who impact the world, in ways that many find unimaginable..." - Michael Izuchukwu

10:28 PM (7/18/21): "Above is Pocahontas... running through the woods..." - Michael Izuchukwu

COVID-19 MASK MANDATES, GOOD OR BAD...? (7/18/21)

7:41 PM (7/18/21): "At present, I have been told that COVID-19 mask mandates deter the spreading of the disease... among the 'unvaccinated'... Vaccinations seem to mitigate the progression of the pandemic's spread, from an international perspective..." - Michael Izuchukwu

 

 

ON ASCENDING MOUNTAINS (7/18/21)

5:32 PM (7/18/21): "The quickest path between two points, is a straight line... but in life, many paths are not linear... There are many forms of adversity in such, and usually they are necessary for spiritual growth... To ascend a mountain, one must often have a certain amount of equipment, presence of mind, and a conditioned physicality... in both the literal and metaphorical, sense..." - Michael Izuchukwu

 

 

REPEATING THE SAME ROUTINE, ON A DAILY BASIS... (7/18/21)

3:47 PM (7/18/21): "In life, most people live in loops… going about their daily routine, to achieve some end… Most of the time, they have disregard for others… and are concerned only about themselves… From my personal experience, encountering genuinely altruistic individuals… is not as easy, as one may believe… Many variables refine the human experience, and many people do not remember who they once were… while others do…” – Michael Izuchukwu

 

ON HUMANS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS, WITH EACH OTHER... (7/18/21)

1:25 PM (7/18/21): "What is the nature of genuine human interaction...? One does not simply associate with others, for the sake of self-advancement... Typically, there is a relationship which may or may not be mutually beneficial... The Golden Rule ('do unto others, as you would have them do unto you') typically accounts for whether such fails... or succeeds..." - Michael Izuchukwu
