Nothing

There is universe, and then what? There is life, and then what?
It’s so mind-blowing when you begin to really think about these things. Will it ever be possible for us humans to fully understand the life, the creation, the actual universe, when our minds are bombarded with limits of this earth, this life cycle, limits of our thinking. Well, maybe our imagination does not really have limits, when we let it fly and if we had the eternity to ponder, explore, test, calculate...But, we don’t, at least not in the sense known to us. The life begins and ends at one point. That’s how we know it. The universe started at one point and it’s destined to end, too. At least that’s the hypothesis. “Universe is expanding.” Does it then mean that it has an end? And then what? What is beyond its end? Nothing? What is nothing? Is nothing never ending, or does it have an end as well? How can something not have an end and/or beginning? But if there is the beginning and there is the end, what is before and after. Beyond. Nothing?
Back at stage one. It’s just mind-blowing, really! One infinitely small being compared to the immensity of the universe. And going, and going and going. Until it ends; until it all ends. But does it mean that just because things work a certain way on this Earth, in this life, it/they hold truth everywhere, throughout the universe, throughout the time? Can we ever grow to the point of grasping it all? I can’t and if this material world is all there is to the “reality of being - existence,” then I don’t think we can either, as humans. Maybe there are other “dimensions,” “realities,” part of the “eternal life cycle,” unknown to us at this stage. Or maybe, there’s nothing. The universe started, people are born and then die, universe dies. That’s almost more mind-blowing, more difficult for me to understand, or maybe just to accept, than the idea that time is endless, with no beginning, no end, with endless amount of “dimensions, realities, stages...”
And I’m back to stage one: just mind-blowing. And tomorrow, I might no longer exist. Well, not in this reality...

Cherish the moments!
