What are we made of and are we the forsaken few?

I still haven't decided what I want this blog's content to be (perhaps I should have thought of this before creating a blog, haha) But maybe it's better without any restrictions? And I could simply use this as some sort of catharsis. We'll see I suppose...
Well, anyway I'd like to take this time to seriously recommend going to the Griffith Observatory to anyone who hasn't!
It's really fantastic because everything is free (even parking!) and you get killer views of Los Angeles at night. It's incredibly romantic.
Here are some pictures I took:
The only thing we ended up paying for was the "Centered in the Universe" show at the planetarium which was worth every penny and which only cost $5 for students. It was incredibly beautiful visually and it even made me tear up a little.
The universe is something that simultaneously fascinates and frightens me because there's so much that we can't even fathom. For example, there's over 1 BILLION GALAXIES in the universe! I can't visually imagine 1 billion anything! Our planet is already incredibly small compared to our own galaxy, let alone the universe. It just makes me feel that everything is insignificant and that I shouldn't worry about things as much as I do. Then I begin to feel a huge increase in worry if I think about these things deep enough and start questioning things. It's a vicious cycle! It becomes one of the very few situations where I might consider ignorance to be bliss.
