Quit Whining, Your Problem Just Isn’t That Important – Put it Into Perspective

Posted byDaniel HoangPosted inThoughts

Having a bad day, take a moment and see how it compares in relative size to the Universe.

Compared to the rest of the planets, we are relatively small. We’re only larger than Mars, Venus, Mercury, and now not a planet Pluto.

But when we put our Sun into the picture, the rest of the planets are minuscule.

But if we look outside of our solar system, our sun is tiny compared to Arcturus and we’re not even on the scale.

But even then, that’s now it. In the image below, compared to Antares, our beloved Sun is only one pixel and Arcturus is minuscule.

So whatever problem you were dealing with today, it’s minuscule compared to worldly problems and in context of the universe, it doesn’t exist or matter.
