> How insignificant am I in relation to this vast universe?
as far as we have discovered, any one of us is among the most beautiful, remarkable, complex things we know of, and on top of that we have emotions!
what's the sun? fusing hydrogen. What's Jupiter but a big hurricane? what's a black hole? these things are large, but they're lacking in subtlety, variety, and complexity compared to us. What's in between them? nothing, vast nothing. It's the rest of the universe that so far appears to be insignificant to me.
