Summary

while the universe may seem vast and our planet may appear insignificant in comparison, there is a deep and meaningful purpose to our existence. Although philosophical arguments can challenge one's faith, the speaker acknowledges that their heart remains steadfast in believing in something greater. Despite the vastness of the universe, the assurance and reassurance that the heart provides reaffirms their faith and gives them a sense of purpose. This quote highlights the inner conflict between reason and faith and portrays a reliance on the emotions to find solace and reaffirm belief in a higher power.
