Down here on Earth we sometimes lose sight of the big picture. Let's look upwards now.
There are three classes of existence, Life (animal vegetable) and inanimate, plus a third, the intangible knowledge gained by learning. Of Life, things go from viruses up to mammals here on Earth. Of mammals, the crowning achievement is mankind. But Earth is only one planet of the Solar system, perhaps things are different on Saturn's moon Titan. The sun's Solar system is only one of the local star cluster, in this spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy is a mediocre member of the local cluster, which is part of the local supercluster of galaxies. Our supercluster is far from the nearest attractor, which is far from the nearest great attractor of our universe. Now I am going to get weird on you. Our universe has alternate reality copies of itself caused by illumination of the essence of life in our existence. Our existence contains many universes, some wildly different from ours. Our existence is only one of many such in the local kernel of a nutshell of possibilities. Other possibilities than ours exist as well, all part of all that exists. All of Creation contains many games besides existence, in places such as hypothetical and impossible zones. The zones are contained in the known, which lies inside the unknown. The unknown is in turn surrounded by a sea of apathy, in which all is blankness and purposelessness. What lies beyond apathy is a mystery to be learned someday.
