While I tend to focus in on human philosophies, human detrements and cynicism, and the history that supports it all, a friend of mine tends to focus his mind outwards to a broader spectrum, taking into consideration that the points that I dwell on, while interesting, may be completely insignificant in the big picture.
From his blog (The Daily Ramblings from the Master of Confliction), I find these links that I thought to be very interesting and that have managed to interest me to the point that I may begin to search outwards instead of inwards for the answer to the big picture (note that this is not an easy accomplishment).
This may put the insignificance of our existance into perspective
(If the browser minimizes the photo, zoom in)
This may put the comparable insignificance of our impact on the universe into perspective
(As Chris has had me do, consider specifically the notion that "From the burst's perspective, Earth's formation lay 8.5 billion years in the future.")
If this interests you, take the time to look through his blog and consider that my spectrum of thought is incredibly narrow compared to a necessary wider view.
