We Are Small

So this is Earth. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, every one that has ever lived is in this picture. We are on a rock traveling through space around a burning ball of hydrogen that is traveling around the center of an ordinary Galaxy in a universe with billions of other galaxies. 


You are there.  




I can see why this scares people and why some choose to believe in a god. I don't, but it's cool if you do, just don't go killing anyone in his name.

Anyways, everything anyone has ever done, everything we think is important, our job, our friends, everything is on that little dot and will most likely never leave it.

Knowing that, why do we stress about things? Why do we worry about what another person thinks? Why do we spend even a second doing things that don't make us happy?

We're all going to be on our deathbed before we know it and we're not going to care about much of the things we spent our time doing. Make the most of it doing the things you love, take chances, and dream big.
