If you're feeling old and fat, just remember -

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?

I honestly though this was going to say "at least your above the ground today".

Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Oh, I love this story! My daddy used to read it before bed! Tell it again, please!

Why is everyone acting as if this is some sort of heartbreaking revelation? Of course nothing we do matters.

However, that isn't going to stop me from losing this weight. Because I may be an insignificant speck in the universe...

But I am going to be a DAMN FINE speck.

...in the grand scheme of things, you are a statistically irrelevant amount of matter, in existence (at least in the form that you call 'you') for a statistically irrelevant amount of time.

WHENEVER LIFE GETS YOU
DOWN, MRS. BROWN, AND
THINGS SEEM HARD OR TOUGH,
AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID,
OBNOXIOUS OR DAFT AND YOU
FEEL THAT YOU'VE HAD QUITE
ENOUGH...

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving,
And revolving at 900 miles an hour,
That's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide

We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point,
We go round every 200 million years
And our Galaxy is only one of millions and billions
In this amazing and expanding Universe
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
12 million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely it is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
Because there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Possibly the greatest thing to come out of Monty Python. The final two lines in particular are oft quoted by me.
