This is a waterfall. You see it as something very simple and every-day. You KNOW that when you throw a rock, it will hit the ground. You KNOW that lifting up a big metal bar is hard because it is heavy. You also know that when you take in a
breath, you breathe air. You also know that in the summer it is hot and in the winter it is cold. What if I told you that the very fact that these things happen is absolutely amazing? Would you believe me? If I told you that in most of the universe, water wouldn't fall. In fact, water, if there was any, would most likely be frozen solid. This planet has such rare conditions for the universe we live in. Most of it is cold, dark and full of nothingness.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is this; don't take what you see around you for granted. We live in amazing place. We live in a place where rocks come back down when you throw them up, where there is an atmosphere to breathe in, and where you can actually go swimming. We are very lucky.
