The guy beside me ordering food at taco bell

Think about the happiest moment you can think of. 
And just how happy and full of joy you were at that moment. 
A moment completely free of past regret and future doubt. 
Just happy. 

And then think of the saddest moment you can think of. 
That moment that fleeting scent in the breeze brings you back to. 
And how life altering its colour has tinged your life. 

And then, think about the last person you met that meant nothing to you. 
Passed before your gaze, not even worth a whisper of a thought. 
And how that person has felt the same highs and lows as you have. 
That that person is uniquely and singularly the most important person in the story of their own lives. 
And how meaningless they were to you. 
In your life story, that guy wasn't even worth a comma, not a drop of ink. 
And likely for them, you.

If there's a god, we must all be as meaningless as those nothing-extras are in our own lives.
