Add: isolation

[jostylr]

Universe is reflected in us. We are a balance of creation and destruction, of amazing and monstrous. But mostly what the universe is is isolated. We are isolated. The space between galaxies, solar systems, planets, parts of an atom, are all huge. Just big emptiness. Yet we are all connected as well -- light from the far reaches of the universe reach us.

Similarly, all of us are conscious beings (presumably) but we can only communicate physically. We cannot share our mental experiences. We only hear, see, smell, feel, taste the barest fraction of what is mentally going on inside. We are alone no matter how connected we are.

And yet that isolation is tempered by our connections, much like the light from distance stars. How do we deal with this, that is the question.
