A Big Experiment

Does this world exist as we know it? It’s the only way we know of, so it’s all we can see, but what if there is a bigger picture, not obvious to the eye, not easy to comprehend in ones mind? We all ask what is the meaning to life (not in a depressive state) but just generally wondering why. What is the human race here for? What is each members purpose? Could it be possible, that it is all a big experiment? By something we don’t know of, created by something unexplainable, unimaginable. What if the impossible, is in fact possible. To stretch our minds that bit further and not think of ourselves as of utmost importance. Just because we are the most powerful species on this planet, does not’t mean we are in comparison, to another existence. We can’t be the only living things in such a vast amount of ‘space’ On the scale of things, our world is just another dot in the sky. Although the human race is intelligent, creative and powerful, it is only what we know of. What don’t we know of? What else could be out there? What are we really, on the whole? Is this too much to even think about? So confusing, so frustrating because there are so many unanswered questions. So many suggestions. Are all these just thoughts in ones imagination? Is that all it is, wild and crazy judgements? Or could there be some hint of possibility, (whether we’d like to admit it or not) some possible reality, in the madness of what has just been said? Then again, isn’t the whole world madness? The entire concept of all things is utterly mind-boggling. Many thought Einstein was crazy, maybe it’s these crazy thoughts that develop, that are what keeps our sanity!
