A thought from the Movie Donnie Darko...

So I got to thinking about the thing Roberta Sparrow tells Donnie "Everything on this earth dies alone." I wonder if I will feel alone when I come to the end of my life.  I dont believe that I will, I believe that I will feel connected to the universe at the time I leave my body many years from now.  The beauty and the complexity of the universe tells me that the Universe was no mistake.  Perhaps we were created in order to give God an idea of what it is like to be an imperfect being, I wonder that since God is and ever shall be that the one thing he doesnt understand is what it is like to be mortal. It seems stupid even still cause I would imagine that He would know the feeling through Jesus or any other being He inhabited on earth.  The one thing that I truly dont understand about all life is why we were created.  I feel that it is a gift, but why create life in the first place?  Was God lonely? Did the Angels not serve as good as men and women might? I know that this is an answer that I am not meant to know until I have passed on.  And I may not care about the answer once I do, I may find solace in the life that I lived, the people I met, the children I will raise, the love that I will share.  The next time you want to appreciate your life, just drive out to the country and sit out under a clear sky and look into the sky and try to imagine all the 782 billion light years it takes to get from one edge of the universe to the other.  Think about all those stars and galaxies, the eternal race with time that all matter and light will encounter as it moves through the Universe serving its mysterious purpose to exist.  I find peace when I think about all that, when I see pictures of stars and other galaxies, when I feel the suns rays on my skin in the late afternoon or the wind touching my skin.  My oh my the repercussions of butterfly wings...
