About This Quote

This is something that I always say, but it's even more true than people think. The world can be said to be made up of governments and entire planets. There are people who are important in government, but the be all end all of the world is the people. It's what makes things like taxes and budgets work.

The people are the ones who will pick up the slack if the government doesn't do their job. And, when you really look at it, all of our lives are really made up of little pieces of individuals. We give life to our children, we live out our years, and we ultimately leave this earth behind.

The world is filled with billions of little pieces of us. And, even though the sun may move across the sky and a new day may come, it's still a part of us that's held together by millions upon millions of atoms that make up a person.
