real quick.

i wonder if most people get a sense, a real sense, of how small we are. sit outside when there's a clear night sky, and just look up. us humans, we tend to think of ourselves as the center of it all. the spotlight is always on us. the universe is vast, to say the least. there's so much out there that we can't explain and don't even know about. i once saw a chart comparing the earth to the sun, and then the sun to some other star, and that star to some nebula, and with each progressing entity the earth became exponentially smaller. i think by the third star, the earth couldn't even be related to it in size like you would a grain of sand compared to the earth itself. we are just too small to compare to most anything else in the universe. im hoping whoever reads these are almost sort of satisfied.
