What’s the meaning of life?

NOTE

The Scale of the Universe and Our Perspective on Life

Watching videos of how small we are in the universe gives me perspective. It amazes me that nothing actually matters in the grand scheme of things, but that means we can give meaning to anything we want. Albert Einstein said there are two ways to look at life: as though nothing is a miracle or as though everything is a miracle. When you look at the universe and our beautiful planet, it feels like a miracle. We live on the best planet in our solar system, like the Disney World of space. We're just a tiny speck on a tiny speck, spinning and orbiting at incredible speeds. Our galaxy alone has 100 billion stars, and there are over two trillion galaxies in the universe. It's mind-blowing, yet we're so focused on mundane things like getting a raise or going viral.
