Struggling to 'accept'/integrate the vastness of the universe

[The Sparrow]

I don't mean accept in terms of 'believing' the science that tells us how large the known universe is. Rather I think 'accept' in terms of honestly seeing my place in it from that context. I end up reverting to my usual B.S. drama of thinking myself and or at least earth as the center of the universe, the center of importance and 'significance'. Anyone else struggle with this?

No.

But then, I am the center of the universe.

No.

But then, I am the center of the universe.

Hehe. I feel that way sometimes, but its not very emotionally healthy for me to do so.

 

[Ziggurat]

Hehe. I feel that way sometimes, but its not very emotionally healthy for me to do so.

Well of course it isn't healthy. You're not the center of the universe, I am.

I have six cats and each cat thinks that he/she is the center of the universe, and of course, each cat is equally correct.

Once one accepts that wisdom, then you will come to realize the truth, that 'Ziggurat' is indeed the center of the universe.

I accepted the fact that I'm never going to get a real grip on the size of the Universe. It's completely past us less-hairy monkeys on this dot in the middle of nowhere.

Leaves more time for Speyside.

The scales are vast and mind boggling to say the least
