    The more you zoom out, the more you realize how insignificant we are. I’ve heard a lot of people realized this when they saw “The Pale Blue Dot” photograph of earth, but I had to have the perspective of time to realize it. We are nothing, not even a spit in the sea.

      I dunno, I feel like neither empty space nor vast aeons of darkness are particularly pulling their weight in terms of really doing existing with any real level of conviction. It’s easy to be vast if you’re doing fuck all with most of it.
