    Makes you realize how infinitesimally small and inconsequential our lives are.

    I can't be the only one that's a bit jealous of the people living in Andromeda. Seems like a cooler galaxy. But the grass is always greener on the other side, right? Oh well, it probably won't matter - in a few billion years we may all be merging, anyway. Still not sure how I feel about that. Then again, nowadays they're saying we may not meet up at all, so who knows?

    Of course, in a few billion years, we'll all be burnt toast, anyway. Ah, positive thoughts... positive thoughts...

    Yeah, not jealous at all. The odds of life as we know it being possible is practically impossible, space is mostly dead and desolate. We're truly a privileged planet, and in the goldilocks zone for life. Basically, you are envying what doesn't exist, unless you envy extremely simple microbial life. This planet is it folks.

    I think you took that comment way too seriously. lol. Believe it or not, I've never actually been to Andromeda to be jealous of the people in it. I'm sure they're cool, though.

    You should try the Eissentam galaxy since it's a lush galaxy with a higher proportion of paradise planets.
