And astronomers say that there are just as many galaxies as there are solar systems, crammed together like giant bubbles. My head hurts. And, as I think back upon my life, if I had known then, what I know now, I would have started drinking sooner. If we as humans are bits and pieces of the universe itself, reflected like images in a pond, we must turn again to the universe to understand the purpose of our lives. The universe seeks to manifest itself in as many different ways as possible - it tries everything out.
Some experiments work, and others become dinosaurs.
More importantly, the universe is expanding. I think this is the implied intent. Like the universe itself, we must endeaver to expand and reach out, not only to other people, but within our own hearts and minds and consciousnesses. We must strive for growth, and we must realize that, while our significance in the grand scheme of things may seem miniscule in certain perspectives, we are also party to a ripple effect in which all of our actions, both good and bad, have the power to impact and change, for better or worse, the lives, and hence, the universe, around us. So if you borrow something, make sure you return it, and next time you make something for the school bake sale, make sure you use real butter instead of that cheap margarine crap.
