The best thing to do is to relax and enjoy the tininess of us and the enormity of the rest of the universe. Of course, if you’re feeling depressed by that, you can always look at it the other way and think of how big you are compared to the atoms and the parts of atoms, and then you’re an enormous universe to those atoms. So you can sort of stand in the middle and enjoy everything both ways.
I suspect that what goes on in every man’s head might be very, very different—the actual imagery or semi-imagery which comes—and that when we’re talking to each other at these high and complicated levels, and we think we’re speaking very well and we’re communicating, but what we’re really doing is having some kind of big translation scheme going on for translating what this fellow says into our images, which are very different.
I think nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s; she’s never going to let us relax.
