Do you sometimes feel small?

[Joshular]

well we are specks on a speck in a speck in a speck in space.

In other words we are so tiny and live for only a fraction of time. We are insignificant on the whole and the only thing that must matter is here and now.

is that a challenge?...

LOL I only can lose a similar challenge... XD

Whenever I feel small in the universe, I remember this from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe trilogy:

The most horrifying form of torture/punishment in the known Universe. The Total Perspective Vortex (it's so mind bogglingly terrifying it even gets Capital Letters) is a small, featureless steel box, barely big enough for one man to stand in.

The hopeless victims stand in the Vortex, and are suddenly shown, for the merest instant, the whole of the Universe: the whole infinity of creation, spanning over several trillion light years, and countless millennia, with an insignificant dot saying "You Are Here".

The comedic brilliance of Douglas Adams never fails to make me smile.
