Just dabbling in general science might help.
Look at that tree. Where does it come from? A bunch of random atoms somehow decided to make a tree. Out of what? If we burn a tree, all we get is a little ash. That ash is the only solid chemicals that the tree pulled out of the ground. What was the rest made of? Where did it come from? Photosynthesis tells is that it came from the air. 90% of every tree is just conjured from air.
We’re surrounded everywhere by crystalized air.

I know you’re taking the piss but the point of it is really to take a moment to look more closely at what’s around.
I saw a great Japanese movie recently called Perfect Days. The lead in it is a toilet cleaner in Tokyo leading a very simple life but he revels in the beauty in all he sees.
It honestly changed my worldview a little. Can’t recommend the movie enough.
