Is dust really people?

Dust is like tiny pieces from people and things around you, and sometimes they can look like little bits of people.

Dust is like a mix of tiny things, crumbs from your snacks, flakes from your hair, and even pieces of your skin. When you sneeze or blow your nose, you might be sending some of those tiny bits into the air. That’s why sometimes dust can look like it's made of people.

Imagine you're playing with a big pile of sand. You dig in it, and little bits fall out, they’re not people, but they can feel like parts of someone because they come from something bigger, just like dust comes from you and the things around you.

So next time you see dust floating in the sunlight, think about all the tiny pieces that make up your world, and maybe even a little bit of you!
