Re: What is the point to life?
The very basic components that make up our bodies are indistinguishable from the components that make up all the other structures of the universe.
We are in fact the universe made aware of itself. Our atoms were born in the hearts of the stars, and those stars now live in us. And through us they learn about the miracles and mysteries that we are only beginning to comprehend.
I gaze into the night sky and imagine the slow passage of time, and the transformations and travel that my atoms have made, to remarkably stand on a small planet circling a small star, and know what I am.
The meaning of life? I think it is the miracle of knowing we are alive!
