Insignificant to significant.
In a universe that is 13.8 billion years old
In a galaxy that is 13.2 billion years old
In a solar system that is 4.6 billion years old
On Earth which is 4.5 billion years old
We tend to have a perception in which our life has purpose
Human life is a mere blip in the grand scheme of the universe
If the universe was a book, human life wouldn't be a page, a sentance, a word, or even a letter
If we were gone tomorrow, who would know, remember, or care
This thought of insignificace is an amazing realization and a significant paradigm
Humans are nothing more than a configuration of atoms bonding together, forming self recognizing beings
Self recognition is a beautiful thing
We are the only things that we have observed to understand that our time here is limited
We understand how small we are, and how brief our existance really is
This gives our life meaning
So, you may feel insignificant, realize that everything you do in life is significant, and your kind is the only things that we have observed to be able to live life as we do
and the thing sitting on your shoulders is the most complex object yet observed in the universe.
