We are Small: my reaction to "Pale Blue Dot"(thank you, anonymous)

I cannot simply begin this post with an ambiguous apostrophe or another worthless vehicle. Yes, worthless. I cannot stress enough how unimportant my, your, their and everyone else's lives are. I'm sure I would be a horrible mother [I promise I'm making a point], especially in my future children's teenage years because I would openly admit to them that they don't matter and they would probably go cry about it. Now, I'm sure they would matter to me, but to the universe? They aren't even a microscopic spec; they literally are worth nothing, just as I am. Just as Theodor Herzl, Aunt Jemima, Albert Einstein, and Adolf Hitler are. What is Zionism? Who cares that Theodor Herzl made a "sanction" where the Jews could be alone? and Aunt Jemima, well she may not even be real in the first place, but she's not important either. Albert Einstein just produced a formula that is only the smallest fraction of the universe's importance. There's no room for hatred either, even for Hitler. No one matters, so from the millisecond we were created, we already were equals, even if equality wasn't enforced into our separate lives, we were always insignificant. Contritely, we are small.

History

We were given the chance to conquer the world;
Implore death upon others,
All others,
But we decided over it.
So, when those plan to bash humanity,
It is time they recoil
And examine the cold war.
