"Everything's got space between it, the planets, trees, your eyes. Your eyes get too close together, it's a whole different world. You can lose perspective"

This quote by Mos Def talks to the value of point of view in life. He is suggesting that when we take a step back and take a look at the bigger image, we can obtain a much better understanding of our location on the planet. By looking at the area in between the earths, trees, and our eyes, we can obtain a far better understanding of the grandeur of deep space and our own insignificance in comparison. When our eyes get as well close with each other, we can lose point of view and also become too concentrated on the little information. This can result in us coming to be bewildered and also losing sight of the bigger image. Mos Def is reminding us to take a step back and also consider the bigger picture in order to gain a far better understanding of our area in the world.
