Think about your life. With some good luck, you may live 100 years. That is approximately 1% of human civilization (~10,000 years) which is around 5% of the time there have been humans humans (~200,000 years) which is around 0.1% of the time there have been mammals (~200,000,000 years) which is around 5% of the time that earth has been around( 4.5 billion years) which is around 33% of the time the universe has been around. In this regard, I like this quote from Perelandra by CS Lewis: "Be comforted, small immortals. You are not the voice that all things utter, nor is there eternal silence in the places where you cannot come." Take joy in your life now, what you learn now, and your significance to those around. Don't read and learn because you feel it necessary, read and learn because it genuinely interests you.
