Let's put your life into the biggest context possible.

You live on Earth, a small planet in a tiny solar system in the far realms of the milky way galaxy, one of many billions of galaxies. You will live for up to 100 years, which is way less than an eyeblink in geological terms. Entire civilizations have appeared and disappeared on Earth, and we don't know about it.

Enjoy your life if possible, but don't cling to the idea that it will mean any thing long term. And even if it lasts for a few centuries or so on Earth, don't forget that we are a tiny dot orbiting a tiny dot moving through a galaxy that is tiny when it comes to the universe.

Thanks, like I dont feel insignificant enough.

We are part of something that is very big. But we are a part however small.

Actually droid, that context you describe? Sounds to me to be one of the smallest. It is limited in its formulation by secondary accounts of reality transmitted to you through various information intermediaries.

Titties and beer.
Everything else is superfluous.

Sometimes I think "man I'm glad I was born a human"

I mean.. You could've been born an amoeba, or a microorganism on Europa.

And I was lucky enough to get be born into a species that gets to enjoy grand theft auto V.

The fact that you cite "titties and beer" and then use the word superfluous makes me think your father was a Rhodes scholar and your mother microwaved the chicken pot pies in the trailer park.

Or vice versa, not playin favorites.

Close, but no banana.
You got the microwave chicken pot pies right.

I'll take that as a win.

This thread threw me into a pre-meditative state. It's a beautiful Spring day over here. You had an impact.
