When I see photos like that, it always reminds me of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the Total Perspective Vortex.

You are locked in a room. You are shown the ENTIRE universe. You are shown a microscopic dot with a microscopic sign which reads "YOU ARE HERE."

You feel so totally insignificant, your mind can't handle it and you go mad.

Stop apologizing for who you are and using all your energy trying to change their minds. Yes, you will lose friends, maybe even family. But you will gain your self-respect. You will know your worth. Once you have that, nothing can stop you.”
