Minute 916 // Real Wonder TODAY'S MESSAGE IS DEDICATED The list of Wonders is very archaic. The Wonders were masterful works of art and architecture produced thousands of years ago. Yet none of the Wonders are as mind-boggling as a cell phone call or e-mail transmitted thousands of miles in seconds through airwaves without wires, or digital photographs passed from computer to computer around the globe. The more I stared in awe at the bridge, the more my attention was drawn to the sky, the water, and the natural landscape that comprised the backdrop to this great human achievement. How puny manmade “Wonders” become, when set against a G-d-created background whose vast and overpowering scope overwhelms the limited boundaries of greatness any human Wonder can supply! How puny manmade “Wonders” become, when set against a G-d-created background whose vast and overpowering scope overwhelms the limited boundaries of greatness any human Wonder can supply! Absorbed in that thought, I began to realize that “big” and “vast” do not constitute “wonder.” One human heart, a single human brain, or a person’s eye or ear is so much more awe-inspiring. Human beings, with all their frailties, are the true Number One Wonder of the World. CONSIDER THIS FOR A MINUTE Let another man praise you and not your own mouth; a stranger, but not your own lips.
