Nothing snaps me out of a depressive episode as effectively as contemplating the scale of the universe. On a cosmic scale, all my problems are miniscule. Everything that we as a species worry about, from petty politics to global warming, is likewise insignificant. My heart soars at the vast potential of our universe.

While I think this[1] holds, I can still use the scale of the universe to get myself out of bad situations
