D,
The competition in the world has robbed us of the great beauty of being
ourselves. It has the effect of making all of us line up in the same way and
present with the same false efficiency. The chaos of the universe makes us long
for perfect lines and concise explanations. The seeming randomness of the
universe makes us find order in petty achievements and empty epochs. We summarize
life too much.
It does not have to be this way for you. Or for any of us, anymore. You are
young enough to avoid this great pitfall of being too small or building the big
things into puffs of gas and air. There is nothing the human mind can conceive
as vast and beautiful as the universe itself. You are made of the same stuff. There
is something beautiful in you and in everything else. You are made of eternal
stuff.
This should trickle down into everything you do. You must not dismiss
the drudgery of everyday life. You must not look down at a single soul or a
single moment. There is something beautiful in you and in everyone else.
