Life is like the universe

Life is like the universe

If you were to build a telescope strong enough to precisely observe our fellow planetary systems and go even further to observe our neighboring galaxies, you would notice something grand. A man by the name of Edwin Hubble did just this and realized that a day in outer space is far from calm.

If you look long enough, you would realize that our neighbouring galaxies are in fact moving away from us. As we sit here right now, our universe as we know it is expanding. The cool part about this whole thing is that the further our neighboring galaxies become from us, the faster they run away. Its as if we no longer have a connection.  As the years go by, they proceed to rush away from us at greater and greater velocities.

Life is like the universe, and God is the Milky Way. Every day, the further and further we run away.

Ironically, the further we proceed,

the faster and faster we rush away.

We come to a point where it is as if we no longer have a connection. Its as if we were never "neighbors," as if we have never seen each other before, as if our time together was merely a fluke. And before we know it, we're lost somewhere in space. Lost in deep, dark, freezing cold space.

We were once all together, surrounded at all angles by all the matter, visible and invisible, that has ever been in existence. See as these galaxies move further away from ours, they also move further away from each other. All those companions and neighbors who were once around them, gone.

Although these neighbors sometimes had too many kids and threw rocks over each other's fences, they all came from a single source. And now that they're gone, we're stuck alone in depressing, lonely, frightening, freezing cold space.

Follow all these galaxies back in time to their origin and you'll realize that they all came from that One single point in space, a singularity. After all, that is what the Big Bang predicts.

See the further away they got from their original source, the worse things seemed to be.  They prefer to refer to it as independence, ultimately they were disconnected. Because life is like the universe, as we all proceed to rush away from our main source of creation and love, we lose everything else. Everyone and everything that was once a part of who we are has now drifted on their own venture deep into the cosmos. The further we drift apart from that main source, the more we forget what it once was. The place we once called home feels awkward and unnatural. Soon enough we begin to doubt that this was indeed our original source of love and creation. We begin to forget that this IS our home and refuge. And because of this distance, be begin to run away faster and faster, further away from The source, until we no longer see it.

Now according to science there is no "center" per say of the universe, but I can assure you that there is. That center is God. The one from which we all came from and seem to be running away from at alarming rates. If only we kept closer, maybe we'd realise that this is our home. This is who we belong with. Realize that this is true, eternal, genuine love. According to science this must be true, because even the Big Bang agrees that all matter ever in existance came from a singularity; a single source in space that began it all.
