I do the same. The world is so filled with hatred you sometimes think that karma exists but evil is the one rewarded in this world. Dealing with constant homophobia for example makes you not want to live. But then you remember the cosmos you live in is fascinating and the issues you see are an insignificant portion of what exists.

If you find the cosmos soothing, another topic I enjoy feeling small about is deep time. A natural history twist instead of a space one.

In college I made and gave public presentations on a scale model of the solar system. Many people were nervous or felt intimidated by the size of the space they saw, but a few people had their eyes opened to how comforting it is to be insignificant. You're in good company!
