Literal cosmic horror; the realization of being a meaningless speck in an indifferent universe.

(I was today years old that that's a Dr. Strange quote, sigh. I thought it was more profound, lovecraftian or something).

Too me it isn't terrifying - it is exhilarating and liberating. We are just some crazy thing that happened - enjoy it regardless of what it all is.

If that cloud were conscious the way you and I are, it would probably be amazed that so much complexity could be compacted into such a tiny space as your brain, our world, teeming with equally complex life and intricate webs of interdependent systems to keep our little bundle of life running must be amazingly interesting to galaxy-sized systems such as that, although I bet it would be terrified of being compressed into such a finite size.
