The other thing is how many people there are, that idea of visualizing everyone as a huge ball of meat compared to the Earth. But just to point out about being special when there are billions.
You doing ok? I embrace my cosmic insignificance for sure but it's more freeing to me that I don't have to measure myself by anyone's standards (within reason) except my own and those who I love vs to remind myself that I'm just going to be less than a blip in the timeline.
But I can get the overview effect looking at the stars/unplug from the system I know I sound like a crackpot. System being the 9-5 standard life, I want to not have a job/be retired I guess (although I would do what I want to do full time eg. work on robotics hobby).
I mostly mean hard to empathize when the pain is not in your face like watching combat footage of what's happening in Ukraine. People shooting themselves in the head instead of waiting for the grenade to drop from the drone and mangle them. Other stuff to watch Cartel videos just brutal stuff damn, separates animal from civilization/higher mind when you experience trauma like that.
I might just be jaded from reading the news everyday time to go back into the sand.
