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 this very moment and how it will shape the infinite time after this very moment.

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, everything right now matters, and everything will continue to matter. Forever.
