"Against a 13.8 billion year backdrop humanity is a vanishingly small speck in a vast cosmic ocean. We are bits of talking meat spinning on a tiny wet globe adrift in incomprehensible vastness. But this polarity between insignificance and complete connectedness is precisely what makes our existence precious. We can stare into the void with awe, gratitude and wonder, or we can gaze at it with fear - make no mistake that the choice is ours. In a universe so infinitely vast there is no objective meaning, but this frees us to create meaning in any way of our choosing, and it allows us to let go of a childish need for absolute certainty, the type of which authority and religion often promise." We must all find our own meaning in this meaningless space - this is both paralyzing and freeing. What kind of meaning do you wish to fulfill? I don't find meaning in knowing the storyline (or title/premise) of every Netfilx show... but somehow I find meaning in a good Crossfit workout.

What makes you tick?
