: What is cosmic indifference?
In: Planetary Science
The universe doesn’t care if you live or die. You are not here for a special purpose, or reason. You exist because a series of coincidences happened to align such that you were born, and if a single one of them had been different, you would not have been born, and nothing of great importance would have changed.
It’s generally a bit less scientific than that – it’s more in the realm of philosophy or literature – but the point is that you don’t matter to the universe as a whole. You can still have meaningful impact in your life and the lives of those around you; it’s just that you aren’t here specifically for that purpose. You exist because you exist, and nothing more.
