The world, really, is small.

It takes less than a day to fly to the other side of it. It takes barely a heartbeat to send messages across the internet to people all over the world.

“Far away” doesn’t exist anymore. Sure, it is not where you live geographically, but it is not far away. It is not to be ignored. It is not to be considered so far removed from your reality that it does not matter.

The world is small, really small.
