We can feel significant in knowing that we give such beauty life through experiencing it.

Jan 07, 2013 @ 21:29:13
This doesn't make me feel insignificant at all.
Jan 07, 2013 @ 21:51:46
This should make one feel all but insignificant. Our very presence, our consciousness, our ability to perceive and be in awe of all these things is the most significant thing of all.
Truestory.
Jan 08, 2013 @ 05:03:05
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of inteligent live out there ;D.

Try 10 billion galaxies… more like it. And we have BARELY learned to scratch.
Mar 11, 2013 @ 23:12:09
How about 10 billion Universes………!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 12, 2013 @ 01:16:14
sO, what we see galaxy etc. is zerO percent of what it is. true infinity, lOve it.
Mar 23, 2013 @ 07:43:27
whenever I'm reminded of our insignificance, our problems, our egos, our arrogance, our achievements and everything we boast about, it all fades deep inside the infinities of space and mere existence only feels too bleak.

Whenever I am exposed to such marvels, and brilliant portraits of existence and how brief our life is compared to something like a sun compared to a galaxy, I tend to take a moment to realize the depressing factors of life, and then I ponder. People like Wander Gomes claim to know how it all came to existence, You're right Rameez Javed, we are an arrogant species, and we do not know our insignificance in a much bigger setting. Nothing is more powerful than logic, use all of which you have at your disposal.
May 02, 2013 @ 20:48:39
Technically we're actually part of these things.
