The ocean has an incredible effect on some. Kind of humbles you. You have a great respect for it. You feel like one of those grains of sand on the beach. Like you are so insignificant. So how does one overcome that feeling of insignificance? When you think about it, why would you have a great respect for something that makes you feel so small? I dont get it, and what do you do about that? I mean, my life is so insignificant and yet the work I do on earth seems worth while. How can I respect an experience like this or why would I want to? How do we love something that makes us feel so insignificant? Thoughts please? It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home weve ever known.” ― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
