I would like to quote Carl Sagan.
I think We do seem rather Insignificant when you really think about it. Nothing ever got me to think of that more than the following picture and quote combo.
The picture was taken by Voyager and is the most distant picture ever taken of Earth, the Quote is Sagan Reflecting on the picture. Nothing ever made me think how small we really are until this.:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant,every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
