I personally don't like thinking that I'm just one part of something much bigger. Yes it IS true, but I consider myself too uniquely different from every other person in this world. It's not vanity, because it's the same for everyone else. No matter who or where you are, you are a universe of its own. You have a mind and a character that will always be different and will never be fully comprehended by others - a snowflake, yeah I get that's cliché but it's true. And imagine that no matter how many billions of snowflakes there are, each one is different from another. Now that's mind-boggling. Whenever I get the "death dread", I think of this, and remember what a privilege it is to be in this world and experience these 'universes' - no matter how brief life may be.
