We all focus on priorities, we all orient our minds towards immediate goals and objectives. From time to time, when we get overwhelmed in these pursuits, we'll escape to an other world, a world that transcends the common thoughts of man. A world where we find comfort in our insecurities that everyone is insecure ~ life perhaps, or even so broad a topic as the creation, design, and existence of the universe. We find comfort because in our moments of desperation, we realize that our value we place in our lives and in our goals and potential failures are -- at least in a philosophical sense ~ obsolete. Imagine if Earth was all that was, if there were no outside space or vast void. If everything truly was ALL or NOTHING. Would the world be any different than what it is today? Would civilizations have acted differently? Assuming nature was constant all the way up until the neolithic revolution. (Ok assume something like the sun existed and the moon controlling the tides but without occupying space ... I know I know... technicalities.)
This is a question I quite literally formulated three seconds ago while I was writing this blog. Comment on what you think.
