Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead. There are way more dead people, and you’re all gonna die and then you’re gonna be dead for way longer than you’re alive. Like that’s mostly what you’re ever gonna be. You’re just dead people that didn’t die yet.

I like that quote. Some may see it as depressing but I see otherwise.

To be dead for billions of years, means you had to be alive at all.

I too find it comforting in the same way looking up to the stars is. It puts our existence in context. In space, and in time.
