When faced with a natural wonder that is just so much more immense than our physical selves and our day-to-day problems, our own time on earth can easily be placed into perspective. The simple fact is whatever your circumstances in life, we're all just small beings living essentially small lives. Nothing more and nothing less. No amount of intelligence, wealth, or even brute strength will ever change that. And when one begins to understand the limitations of our own species, then one also understands how absurd an idea it is to place your destiny into someone else's hands. No amount of fear should stop any human being from finding and living a life of meaning.
