I found myself gazing at the night skies but a few moments before I decided to write this, what I understood in those few pristine minutes I fear has changed me in a way I cannot fully fathom. I looked up at the black enveloping mass, I just gazed and then I began to appreciate the beauty of it all and at the same time, I was humbled by what I saw, what I was learning. How does mankind even dare to think that we can fathom what cannot we fathom, we constrict the universe to our laws and pretend that chaos can be tamed and that in some way we are special and the masters of all we lay our sight upon. What arrogance, what arrogance from a beast with a slightly higher cranial capacity than a chimpanzee. We think ourselves, masters of the universe, we aren't even fit to grace her presence. As I gazed longer I wanted to remove her garment of stars and the heavens and learn her secrets, we live under her mercy in the warmth and comfort of her bosom. And yet we cannot appreciate what we see, we have this unwarranted need to control and conquer. To what end? What is the end result, what do we hope to gain from all of this? I found myself overwhelmed with emotion. A man who doesn't know what to feel anymore, and this fact scares me......
