Insignificant

It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that we're insignificant on the scale of the universe. As if to rub it in we're told that there's a billion billion stars in our own galaxy and a billion billion galaxies in our universe, each one harboring trillions of planets. Then again from a different perspective, here's a chart showing where all the various elements come from. When you consider that every atom, of the otherwise quite rare element Phosphorus that sit inside every DNA molecule of every cell in your body is essential in defining every aspect of your existence and ONLY came from the heart of an exploding star, it's quite a neat thought.
