The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we become aware of our own abilities and inner power, it humbles us. Recognizing our own strengths and potential can lead us to understand that there are still limitations to our knowledge and capabilities. Instead of letting our achievements inflate our ego, this awareness fosters modesty by reminding us of the vastness and complexity of the world around us. It encourages us to remain humble and open-minded, acknowledging that there is always more to learn and achieve.

After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light.
