“Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are”
I can still remember reciting the planets on the solar system way back the fourth grade. As early as that, I had the astronomy as a favorite pastime. I look at encyclopedias for these planets and the sun and supernovas and black holes. I can recite the planets from according to distance (proximity from the sun) to size (biggest to smallest and vice versa) and the constellations to which they are included.
But the concept of night sky changed.
When we look at the night skies, Pluto is still there. Not as a planet but a dwarf — dwarf 134430. Pluto is confined to numerical value after years of considering it as the farthest, smallest and coldest planet in the Milky Way. Such drastic move that lead to protests and campaigns to restore the former glory of a faraway planet.
Well, people can be the planet Pluto. Many a times individuals are stripped of their value based on circumstance not their fault. They are being judged (me not exempted) by claimed “authority” to be something or nothing. People, like Pluto, will just have to accept these judgments amidst emotional protest and start moving on with their lives. They will hide the pains and sorrows for this “realignment” or worse, “de-recognition” just to have an acceptable course of destiny.
But what if this is not what the universe wanted? What if we were made to believe it is okay to treat Pluto that way but in fact, is NOT?
If Pluto was reduced to an ATM pin-like description, and new dwarfs were pronounced (thanks to asteroid ERIS for these disagreements), is it not effect limiting the Divine’s handwork a mere temporary canvass? The universe works wonders — it holds in its hands countless planets of incomprehensible nature and significance. It made no two planets, stars, nor asteroid the same. Yet it holds its little stars (and planets inclusive) delicately under the laws of universal creation. It holds dearly every little creation in the night sky.
If I were Pluto, I would at the meantime accept what these “persons as authorities” had made me. But I will wait for the time when I cross Uranus’ orbit (kick him on the butt? No!) and swap places and do this until the time I reached Earth’s (I know it is not scientifically probable but if Pluto can be made a number, then can the Divine not do anything?). Then I will pose myself as an asteroid ready to destroy the living planet. Pluto, like any person deserves to retaliate and invoke the karmic law — the universal law.
Blackmail ey? A good one I assume.
To planet Pluto, till you are back to your former glory!!!
