Everything is relative

I am writing this as this is something i discovered that applies to me and also to anyone and anything else. Might help some readers in some way.
Rest and motion are relative to a frame of reference. Remember the Newtonian Physics lesson? Similarly hot/cold or precisely the temperature has no meaning unless you are comparing it wrt to something. Similarly position has no meaning unless compared to something, each galaxy thinks it is at the center of the universe. So the entire nature or the Universe around us obeys this law of relative comparisons. And we are such a tiny bit of it, to think about it, the entire atoms/molecules composing the Universe are just 3-4% of the Universe. so what are we? we have no option other than to obey the laws of physics.
So in day to day life, we are happy, sad, excited, depressed and what not. But each of those emotions are also relative. You might think why did this happen to me of all. But think about it, relatively you will be definitely better than some other possible situation. However thats not a consolation for being in a bad situation, still think about it...

When you are watching a movie by completely involving in it, then, to you every thing is relative to the movie. You cry when the bad scene comes, you laugh when a comedy scene comes, and you are bound by the movie moods. This is because you let yourselves to get involved in the movie, but if you are not invovled in the movie, you are really not affected by the scenes of the movie. Similar is the world. WHen you let yourselves to get involved in the world via the senses(physical and mind asense as well), then, you are tuned as per the curcumstances and are subjected to the duality, the essentialness of the creation or the world. But when more and more you refrain from letting your self involved in the world by way of your senses, then you are really free from the relativeness. By the way, there is nothing is this world that you can classify as being absolute, except the self or soul or speck of counciousness and the universal self or GOD or Paramatma or universal soul or universal counciousness.
