This attitude is why I rarely discuss/post anything in sincerity anymore. My views are mine, you have yours. We'll all be dead in a hundred years. Time to post farm on a Nonsense Game thread
Thinking about the reality of the galaxy, let alone the universe, in terms of proportion, mass, energy, etc. is moot. It's great to have a healthy perspective on your life, and the importance of the small things that stress us out is good, but taken to an extreme, you'll suck the joy out of your life as well. All the ecstasy involved in first really talking to a girl/guy you fancy, or the expansive flavour of some chocolate or nice scotch, the weightless, effervescent feeling from a good laugh. Tiny, little, miniscule situations that make every day a new experience.
Of course, I don't really value those things as they're happening, but when I think about, today, 7/23/03, which was a shitty, stressful, unfufilling day, I can remember the little things that made it pass, helped me through it all.
... now back to being a bitter asshole
