Infinite yet limited

Seeing the sky as it lays still above me, I slowly start to lose myself in its vastness, and I begin to wonder that, though, we can see the horizon - the apparent junction of the earth and the sky, the ultimate, infinite end which we can set our eyes on - we still cannot see all the weathers changing until that horizon is reached. we only see what’s above us, and not the differences in its appearance till it reaches that absolute end, like, in the absolute unlimited opportunity, we are still so limited. way before travel was common or the world was yet to be discovered, man might have guessed the sky to be the same everywhere because that’s what his limited capacity to see would have made him think. now we know how weather changes, how even days and nights are different in different parts around the world. a person living in an era way before time zones were even a thing to believe in, is bound to think that way. but now we know.
this thought, as soon as my mind grasps its immensity, my perspective on life completely shifts along with it. Because, even in life, at times we come in proximity with situations that seem absolutely clear from every angle and perspective that we look at them from and we tend to think that we have analyzed them properly and we know them absolutely well. even in those situations, there’s always so much more that we cannot possibly see, that even our apparently unlimited capacity may not allow us to see. and so, the way after pondering tirelessly about the matters of the sky and the universe, we exhaust and decide to leave them in the hands of the One who created them, why don’t we decide to leave our daily matters to Him in the same way as well? the matters that seem to have reached possibly a dead end, the matters with no signs of hope. since He is the Best of Handlers. His vision, His knowledge goes beyond our horizons. then what worries us so much?
