Cosmic Death...

Is death considered a cosmic event?

Is death caused by some extra
terrestrial force focused on the
destruction of the earth?

We seek bizarre explanations for
that which we can’t comprehend.

Death should be easily explained,
after all, people have been doing it
for years.

The basic problem is our inability
to grasp the finite. We have invented
time in an attempt to explain the finite.

But that’s a two edged sword.
Time supposes a beginning and an end
which is the very definition of finite.

The other edge of that sword is that
time continues after we’re gone.
Thus, is time finite or is it infinite.

Trying to grasp infinity with a mind that’s
finite is like trying to explain relativity
to a first grader.

Understand what you can,
accept what you can’t but
Always question, always question.
