We are so intoxicated with our own self-importance, we fail to see the incredible brevity of our temporal span. We are infinitesimally inconsequential, in comparison to the gargantuan scale of the cosmos.
"knowing that 99.98 percent of the history of the universe happened before our species even arrived on the scene is the single most humbling earthquake of perspective we can ever achieve." (Dale MCGOWAN, et al, Raising Freethinkers)
