The time we humans live despite prolonging,
is but a blink compared with that of the universe.
The distance we travel however impressive,
is but an angstrom compared with that of the universe.
The information we glean with increasing complexity,
is simple addition compared with that of the universe.
The equations we solve with many variables,
are but quadratics compared with those of the universe.
The evolution of our species however advanced,
is but a single cell compared with that of the universe.
And me, my morbid cynical observations, they
are the truths of the universe.
