This is the most important video on the meaning of life and the sacredness of the Creation that I've ever seen. This is a video that can help us put our lives, and the universe around us, into perspective...
Peace. |

Peace.
The meaning of life, there is no meaning to life, give me one good reason why there should be.
You are dreaming again, but it gives you a nice warm feeling and what difference does it make anyway, none, so carry on dreaming. |

Peace.
Why because I am a realist? and see life for what it is and not what I want it to be,
you might be able to delude yourself but I can't.
or is it because I will not believe a story someone wrote a long time ago that makes no sense at all,
and if you think I am 'a sad, strange, little man', I know I am on the right track. Originally Posted by Punchy A video such as this makes me feel humble before God.
Feel humble, feel tiny and insignificant, but what is all this God nonsense? |

Saying that we are the purpose of creation is like saying that the Eiffel tower was built for the last skin of paint on the topmost square centimetre of it. |

Where did you get 70 billion light years across? I'm not doubting you but I thought it was more like 26 billion light years across. |

Indeed. Makes you wonder how many other pale blue dots are out there with their own dictators, religions, saints and sinners.
