One way I keep this perspective is to observe something random around me and think as deeply as I can as to how that thing came to be. Random example off the top of my head: Have you ever noticed that when you have the intermittant windshield wipers on in your car, you can change the speed of the wipers to be either faster or slower. When you lower the speed, it re-starts the wiper interval with the swipe at the end of the interval, like this ....|....|....| But when you quicken the speed, it re-starts the interval with the swipe at the beginning, like this |....|....|.... Some engineer actually realized that when you quicken the speed of the wipers, it's probably because you have an already built-up amount of water on your windshield and need a swipe right away. And when you lower the speed, it's probably because you're getting streaking. This is pretty ingenious I think. Yet, how often do you appreciate how much thought and effort went into this otherwise unnoticeable feature of your everyday (rainy) life? That's how I try to keep this perspective.
