I'm not sure if the world would be better if everyone watched this video, as the title claims, however I do hope that those who do watch the video are able to take a step back in their lives and appreciate what it is attempting to say. Our life is nothing but an atom on a speck on a flea in the ocean of time, and what we do with our minuscule portion of time here on this Earth should be spent wisely. It's incredible how meaningless our own lives become, that we are less than an insignificant figure, on the scale of the galaxy.
