A lifetime may seem like a long time to you, a mortal being, but to the sun, the moon, and the planets it is but a trifle, a comma lost somewhere in the middle of Tolstoy’s rambling War and Peace. To them, time is as irrelevant and useless as the concepts of finitude and infinity, antiquity and perpetuity, before and after. Always remember your true place in the overarching scheme of things: We are merely transient visitors in the celestial bodies’ everlasting Universe, not overly hubristic hosts of some cosmic party.
