If we could only see the bigger picture and put things into perspective more often, this planet would be a much better place.

really...
 
Yea I don't care if it is a bacteria there is no way that some sort of living organism does not exists I refuse to believe that
 
And wait.. what if we're not living in a Universe but one of many in a Multiverse?
 
life in the other galaxies is obvious, except we probably won't have contact with them or never will since they are hundreds of billions of lightyearsaway.
 
The deeper we see into space, the more humbled I am. We are definitely not the end-all.
 
Draw a dot on a Compact Disc w/ a marker, that's our sun, the CD itself is our Solar System.

Then lay that CD on the ground outside.

The size of the CD is our solar system, and it's relationship to the galaxy is Earth.

That's pretty damn big.
 
It honestly depresses me when I think about the fact that I probably won't live long enough to see/encounter life from elsewhere in the universe.

$%$+ sucks.
