    Matt Delfendahl:
    I really like this post and quote! It reminds me of the conversation we had about Neil Degrasse Tyson earlier in the semester. We talked about our cosmic significance and Neil explained the importance of understanding the wide universe and how we play a part in that. While yes, we are all individuals, the fact that we are a part of a much larger whole is really important! I think that every individual person has significance, but when we find ourselves a part of something bigger, that significance only exponentially grows.
