And so, and so, life goes on. What a odd little planet we have. Full of silly people doing silly things and they don't know why. Everyone just wants to be happy. So strange that the pursuit of life should cause so much death.

And so, time goes on. Humanity turns its guns and violence on itself and its only home. A small lonely blue planet spins around a little star on the edge of a galaxy. The universe expands, the small planet becomes lonelier. Specks of life flicker on it, demanding attention, "Sit up and look at me."

Such a big universe, we all feel tiny and pointless sometimes. Such a small world, people living on top of each other. I reach out my hand to someone, so close and so far away.

Prophets cry, "Doomsday is upon us." What if this world should end? Would the universe take notice of a puff of smoke on its outer limits? Life goes on, here and out there.

And I smile at you and want you to smile too, because life is both short and everlasting. Let's spend it being happy.
