Big.

Vast.

Scary.

So much we don't yet know, yet so much there is to learn

But maybe we're not meant to learn

Maybe we think it's our duty to learn

But I think that's rather entitled.

The universe was not created for us

We happen to exist because of it

The universe birthed us

The universe gave us life

The universe said: "I will let you be here, but do not think it is your right"

I find that we often think it is our right

The earliest astronomers knew so little

Their biggest worry, creating the tools to learn more

But then what?

And honestly, so what?

I think it is our duty to do well in the world
