EVERYTHING MATTERS

Everything

Alex MacCaw's article Nothing Matters is entertaining and compelling. Alex noted the paradox "we are meaningless. And yet some things seem so meaningful."

Consider how everything mattered from the infinite time before right now to get us to right now.

One infinitesimal dot in a sea of infinity. Every dot is connected to every other dot. The universal river of existence constantly alters its flow and affects everything downstream. The only thing standing between everything that matters and oblivion is one dot. Everything before has mattered and everything will continue to matter as other monkeys get their chance to fly through space with their weird costumes and funny names.
