For every thing, there is something bigger. Something so much bigger than you could ever comprehend, getting farther and farther away from you every second. And for every thing that is bigger, there is something bigger than that, so much bigger than that thing could ever comprehend. All getting farther and farther away. At some point, it will be gone. That thing that you are, that thing that is bigger, the things that are smaller, they all go away eventually. Will we ever know why it all goes away? Can we stop it from leaving, even just a little bit? I'm not so sure that we can. We can certainly try, though. Effort into this multi-dimensional quest for meaning is something that has been a part of human psychology since humans knew they were humans. It has taken us this long to get this far, and we are still so very very far away, and it keeps getting farther away. And even if we find something, a lead, it's just a bigger thing with other bigger things yet to find, also getting farther and farther away.

Maybe it's better to appreciate what's here now. The friends we make, the history we learn, the past we remember, that's what has survived. It's why we try at all. Because at the end of the day trying and failing is something we will all do, but it's failing together that makes the landing just a bit softer. The meaning isn't anything more than beginning and end. What's in between is up to you, and it helps when you know that out there somewhere in the unobservable, someone is playing the same song with you.
