Against the background of a Winter Sky
Looking through
the irregular angles
of your skeletal form,
stripped to the bone,
I see you far more suitably adorned
with the ever fruitful,
constellations, of Stars.

Absolutely it has impact, a simple act of kindness to a fellow human being you might not even know makes a difference.
Those for example who work in care environments who get paid a pittance when they could do something else for more, yet still they continue because they know the value of what they do.
Those who don't enter into the world of chasing wealth in materialism often do make a difference, so with respect I would say such actions do make a difference..the fact such tiny specks as us can do so is really what matters.
I think to deny that is probably to give up all hope, I won't do that.

( with respect ) " might impact "
Utopian wishful thinking eh David? but oh! that it would!
thanks for the thought food Mr. M.

The recognition of our miniscule place in a huge universe is a perspective we should all focus on, it might impact how we behave toward each other and the planet.
That coupled with our ability to be a force for good no matter how small we are.

PS, all the above and the fact that I love trees and forests drew me to your idea.
So much love your step by step, analogical comment, David.
Bearing in mind your comparisons, I think that having removed, lets say, all materialistic layers from various individuals, which probably amounts to the bulk of society anyway, one isn't likely to find much to write home about
( myself honestly included )
trust me! now, I'm left with a catless bag! 😁
Cheers, John, Holden, Manish Helene.

It struck me as a wonderful example of how sometimes in order to see things clearly we have to strip them down to their fundamental structures.
With people that would be their skeletal frame, you have transposed that idea here in the form of a naked tree set against a background of infinity. The human emotional equivalent of that process would be to strip the vestiges of the material world from a person and see what remained.
In order to clearly see we require perspective and comparisons, what better way to process such an idea than to uncloak it and stand it before infinity and see how it held up to such exposed scrutiny.
I like the idea of image Betheny,
David
I appreciate your spontaneous liking, David, thank you.

Absolutely no denying that there isn't any shortages of unsung heroes, and I personally, have know plenty, who have gone and continue to go beyond the call of humanitarian duty, in all walks of life
never wanting of course to overlook, those prime and breath taking examples, that we see on tv on a daily basis, many, unjustifiably, paying the ultimate price,
( heavenly rewards methinks )
