Summary

This quote reflects the perspective that the universe does not possess any particular intention or emotion towards humanity or any other entities within it. Instead, it suggests that the universe operates without a specific bias or personal investment, displaying no favoritism or aggression. It portrays the universe as an impartial and neutral force, functioning according to its natural laws and unaffected by human or personal concerns. In this view, human experiences and interpretations are seen as momentary and insignificant within the vastness of the universe's existence.

Every day people are born and people die. Human beings come into this world and leave it - most without their names being immortalized in any history books. Millions of people have lived and worked and loved and died without making any great claims to fame or fortune. But they aren't forgotten - not by their friends, not by their families. And some of these people, some very special people, are not forgotten even by those who harldy knew them.
