ever heard of a Sierpinski triangle? one triangle made up from an infinite number of infinitely smaller triangles?
look at our galaxy shape. now our solar system shape. all the way down to atomic structures. see a pattern?
we ourselves are made up of a very large number of atomic structures, just as out universe is made up of a very large number of galaxy structures. see where I am going here?
kinda mind-blowing when you really think about it. though that could just be my fever.

do you want to know what really blows my mind ?
the fact that we exist in the first place .
brute nothingness has no dimensions , space , time or no space for information .
but we exist on a beautiful planet where we can study beautiful things like math and our own anatomy .
reality is indeed more fascinating than fiction ...

ever just lie back, on a crystal clear night, and just stare into space? as your eyes focus, you start to realize that there are more and more stars showing up as your eyes acquire more sensitivity? that to me is reality in perspective. we exists on a tiny little planet, in a tiny little corner of space, in a mind-blowingly small parcel of time. and yet, in knowing this, I still enjoy the little parcel of time and space set aside for my existence.

we are tiny relative to space , and huge relative to the smallest units of observable space . the time you spend drinking your morning coffee is nothing relative to the large scale of time yet it's extremely long relative to the smallest units of imaginable and possible time .
what's happening inside a single human brain can make it more valuable than a whole lifeless galaxy .
everything depends on perspective , wisdom is the ability to find harmony .
