World on shoulders

In Hindu mythology, the flat Earth is held up on the backs of four elephants standing on the back of the cosmic tortoise, Akupara. In Greek mythology, the Earth is held up by the titan, Atlas. Myths are just that, fanciful and imaginative myths. Science got around to establishing the truth of the matter, around 1650 A.D. Science confirmed this about 4500 years after the Bible had stated in Job 26:7 KJV "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."

We've really become so humorless and brittle. Our attempt to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders isn't healthy.

I don't know why, but this reminds me of my self at this moment in time. I am the city. I feel as if I can't breathe at times, yet it inspires me and keeps me going as it fuels me up again to take on another day. It's home. *Artist Unknown (you are brilliant whoever you are)
