One of my favorite thoughts, which happens to be one I coined personally when I was in high school.
Different people live their lives different ways for different reasons, and if we were to spend our lives trying to make sense of those reasons we would look back and realize our lives had been wasted.

[i:ii485xqg]Life perpetuates itself through diversity, and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information. Only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system.[/i:ii485xqg] - The Puppet Master, Ghost in the Shell (1995).

I dunno, I don't look at it that way. Basically all it shows is how small we really are, but it doesn't show anything proving that in the grand scheme we are worthless and meaningless. Really there's no proof that anything exists with a specific purpose, just that one thing is here, and another, larger thing is there.

What I meant was it puts it into perspective how small we are and it doesn't help when one feels utterly alone. That just makes you feel even smaller. Though it is cool to see the new biggest star on record last i knew it was Betelguese.

Yeah, "Wow" pretty much describes what i was feeling when i saw that for the first time. The first part was cool, and i thought it'd end with the Sun, but after that it just kept going and going, becoming almost intimidating. That point is pretty much driven home by placing the Sun next to Canis Majoris at the very end.
It also makes you wonder whether the stuff you're worrying about is actually worth worrying about too. Kudos to whomever made that for the research that went into it though, as well as getting the scale right.

Multiverse where the possibilities are endless. I can believe they named a star that.. I'm sure there was a reason for it. Though I love how they're calling the biggest star in simple terms something like Big Dog.
