WE ARE INSIGNIFICANT…. earth a tiny little dot when observed from distance within a ginormous galaxy… That galaxy a tiny little dot when observed from distance within a vast universe which is loaded with billions of galaxies…. A universe of what could be a tiny little dot of a universe observed from distance, surrounded by billions of other universes…. THEN US…. HUMANS, EACH OF US A TINY LITTLE SPEC OF DUST WITHIN THE PALE BLUE DOT THAT IS EARTH…. Possible aliens from just the next galaxy could be observing us as having 1/1000 of their intelligence far less as to how we perceive ants in comparison, that’s how much our insignificance may be….. I find that truly amazing… All that mind stuff that fizzes through each of our days…The love, hate, war, worry, laughter, hope, elation, tears…. yet we are just a spec of dust within a pale blue dot called earth IF at all noticed from afar…
