>realize just how irrelevant our planet is. So..what would be a situation where our planet would seem 'relevant'? Maybe if there was only 1 solar system? Or.. What I'm having for breakfast seems important to me, or I could try to 'sit back for a second and realize just how irrelevant my life is'.. But that's not how importance works, or relevance, or meaning. They're relative to something, someone. p.s. I used to love astronomy when I was a kid - had a big telescope, wanted to be an astronomer - also used to love climbing to the top of trees, tall buildings. Now I mostly prefer not to think that the ground we walk on, is on a rock hurtling through space, which could be destroyed anytime, but has been orbiting a star for billions of years..etc. All that makes me dizzy. '..portions of eternity too great for the eye of man.'
