Universal scale

In the greater volume of the Galaxy our sun it's not that large it's not that old it's not that special. But to this solar system it is everything awe-inspiring life-giving massive.

In the greater volume of the Galaxy our sun is a minor player insignificant unimportant with very little gravitational importance. In our solar system it is the boss it is neutronium the reason for everything and the glue that keeps us together we are born of it.

Metaphors repeat. Scale changes. Relationships and connections never change.

In a narrow view people and places become the meaning and reason for all. But if you broaden your gaze to encompass the entire Galaxy, everything is insignificant easily replaced unimportant.

Some lose their selves and their essence into the volume of the Galaxy. Some shrink down to the solar system to find an anchor a need a will a longing to belong and have importance.

Why then do we flutter about when another candle is snuffed out, but then turn our gaze to the Galaxy and step over yet another candle in the wind?

At the center of every Galaxy and spread throughout are black holes. The ultimate period to the end of a sentence of existence. A point you cannot see beyond but is not necessarily the end. Just the end of realities concern. At the center of our world and spread throughout are black holes. People who are the end of the sentence, a period to mortal existence.

In time everything in the Galaxy will be drawn to these annihilators to end reality without a thought a care or a hesitation. In this world eventually everything will be attracted and caught up by these walking black holes who will end all without a thought a care or a hesitation. 

The Universe Galaxy Solar System Planet are full of great annihilators. We cannot escape them. We cannot survive them. One way or the other they will take us all. So why then does it matter truly when we fall?

In the grand scheme of it all, one star, one life. What does it matter what I believe or when I fall to it?
