Putting things in perspective

I received this e-mail awhile back and meant to post this. I've been talking about perceptions recently, so here's a cool way to look at the universe.

I don't know if this will make sense. Maybe it sounds a bit hokey, but perhaps those issues we view, think, or feel as the "sun," or like the bright stars of Pollux, Arcturus, Betelgeuse, and Antares are really only a "mars," "mercury," or "pluto" in the grand scheme of things.
