There's Something Wonderful About This Place...

My sister sent me this quote a while back. When I read it, it brought a smile to my face and made me go all existential. I hope you can take something away from it:

A universe without purpose should neither depress us nor suggest that our lives are purposeless. Through an awe-inspiring cosmic history we find ourselves on this remote planet in a remote corner of the universe, endowed with intelligence and self-awareness. We should not despair, but should humbly rejoice in making the most of these gifts, and celebrate our brief moment in the sun.
-Lawrence M. Krauss is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Case Western Reserve University.
