In Awe or Horror of the Universe

[broken_stoic]

I feel like both are possible, but people are often disposed to see the world one way or another.

I'm sure mental health has alot to do with it, your upbringing, life experiences, and also genetics.

Some days the universe seems like such a beautiful wonderful thing.

Then I'm either horrified or feel trapped by the fact that I will eventually end and no longer be part of it. Given how my life is going that may be sooner than latter, but that's besides the point.

Other days the entire existed of all time and space feels like a horror, and I wonder if there is any escape.

I wish I had been given a better existence, known better people, and could just gaze up at the stars in wonder without it eventually turning to terror. I envy people who see the world and the universe for the beauty that is there.

For me, the universe is horrible and beautiful at the same time. But mostly, I'm in horror of it because I have a lot of love in me and I truly believe and think that every living thing should be allowed to not only have a good life but one without extreme suffering. I think the way that our universe is set up and has evolved is downright awful. I know it's a bit egotistical to think I could make a better design and that good vs. bad is a human concept but it's the only way I can think and believe.

Life is not fair but it never had to be this way at all.
