What is the saddest truth about life?

people think they are way more important than they are.

earth could blow up tomorrow and the universe wouldn’t even notice.

we are so tiny and inconsequential in the universe, it’s not even funny.

for example. Look at these pictures:

now look at earth

now look at earth compared to Jupiter and Saturn… pretty wild

but then you compare it to the sun and earth is a speck of dust

And you’re like “the sun is pretty impressive tho” actually it’s not. Compare it to these other stars in the
Milky Way galaxy….
just for good measure let’s see how big Arcturus in the picture above (that dwarfs our sun) looks
compared to some bigger stars in the Milky Way
antares must be a gigantic impressive whopper of a star then right? Let’s look at it in the Milky Way… I bet
it stands out!

oh well. I guess it doesn’t.

Is the Milky Way an impressive galaxy?

not really. There’s billions more.

humans like to think that we are important, but in the grand scale of things… we just aren’t.
