I\u2019m less than a pinpoint in the vast outreaches
\nof space. I\u2019m not of much significance as one
\nof the billions of humans on this planet. Even
\nif I had risen to international prominence, I hope
\nI could have the same realistic appraisal of my
\nexistence and a realistic humility about my
\ninsignificance in the grander scheme of
\nwhatever is the unfathomable purpose of this
\nfleeting and unpredictable life. I have to remind
\nmyself of that as a sort of reality check from
\ntime to time, not that I get on a high horse
\nabout myself, but sometimes I forget about
\nhow insignificant humans are in the entirety
\nof this universe and this impermanent world.<\/p>\n
