It's easy to find comfort in the idea that nothing matters in the long run. But to not just accept, but embrace, that to exist is to give and to take, to create and destroy, to cause suffering and provide relief, is to realize the significance of your life and the gravity your actions have.

In the scope of the universe, we are mere atoms, but in the scope of our own lives, we are titanic.
