🏛️ Stoic Quote

We are bacteria to the universe. We’re basically monkeys on a small rock orbiting a small backwards star in a huge galaxy, which is in an absolutely staggeringly gigantic universe, which itself may be part of a gigantic multiverse. - Naval Ravikant

In the grand scheme of the universe's vastness and complexity, our daily worries and stressors seem insignificant. When feeling overwhelmed by trivial matters, remember our place in the cosmos and find peace in accepting our smallness.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
Psalm 8:3 ESV

The lesson reflects on the insignificance of human worries in the face of the vastness of the universe, which aligns with the Stoic idea of gaining wisdom through understanding our place in the grand scheme of things.
