One of the meanings to what it means to be human is to find infinite beauty in the smallest things. As humans we tend to have one ideal picture of what beauty is. We listen to society's opinions and we base off our behavior and our decisions according to what everyone else would deem an "ideal thought" of a certain stereotype. Of course there are those of us who find beauty in not the material things that were made by the human hand and were created for our self needed purpose but the natural things such as nature which was not made by man and something we cannot explain all the time. Even so, something as small as a growing tree plant or a butterfly is what inspired people to do great things and to go beyond our potential. Where did we get the idea to fly if it was not for someone who not only saw the flight of a bird but found infinite beauty and inspiration in that flight of that bird? Where did we get the idea to paint a picture or create music if it was not for that one person who not only saw the colors and heard a rhythm in nature but found infinite beauty in it as well? It starts out like that at first and that is one of the many beauties that humans have. Humans have the ability to see something so simple as a seed or a small plant find and find potential in it and create something out of it and it is not like someone has to find beauty in everything he or she sees. The beauty of free will gives humans a chance to pick what he or she gets drawn to. That is why some people are more drawn to music and art and others are more drawn to dancing and sports. They find beauty in these certain things and potential and from there they let their passion grow so that they consume within this thing and make this small thing they see so much beauty in become something much bigger. Like Einstein's interest for "small atoms" lead him to create something so powerful as the atomic bomb and as authors' love for writing leads them to create classic books, humans have the ability, that no other creature has, to get something and create something out of it and not only create something out of it and this is where the infinite part comes in. When a human starts off with something small and creates something bigger out of it, it can inspire the person themself or even other people to create something off of that or create something else because they were inspired off that one thing. It creates a chain reaction for if the new creation made from the previous creation inspires others, they themselves will possibly create something based off of that creation and so on. It continues on forever because people will constantly change and try to improve the creations and continue on and it all started off from something so basic and small. Like a small seed which grew into a beautiful flower which inspired someone to paint it and someone wrote a book dedicated to the painting which was read by someone else to go travel the world and see the place depicted in that book, the human ability to see infinite beauty in the smallest things proves to be something much more grand than alot of people can perceive.
