Some days, the most important realization you will have is that the world went on turning for 5 billion years without your being there, and that it will continue to do so even if you aren't there; that we are tiny specks of life in the grand scheme of things and that it really doesn't even matter.

These are the days I feel completely justified in boiling myself a pot of tea, curling up on the couch, and reading a book. After all, this world might go on without me, but there's whole universes out there that need saving and that won't happen until I get to the end of the book!
