Astronomers estimate that the sun has about 7 billion to 8 billion years left before it sputters out and dies. One way or another, humanity may well be long gone by then.

Stars like our Sun burn for about nine or 10 billion years. So our Sun is about halfway through its life. But don't worry. It still has about 5,000,000,000—five billion—years to go.


Carpe diem. Don't worry be happy now.

Eternity is forever. A ''life'' is but a single drop of eternities forever, appearing one life at a time, forever in eternities timelessness.

"Huh?!"

"What do you mean huh?"

"If huh needs explaining then ..."

"Yes, then ...?"

"Then ... then ..."

"Yes?"

"Then you need to get yer head examined!"

"We have work to do, si?"

"Si, si!"

"Well, what are we waiting for?!"

There's nothing in my head that needs examining. I will not budge. We must have peace.

Is there anything in your head to examine? Will you budge? Peace or war?

No.

Yes, Gary, Yes. The sun is going to die one day, just like every thing else does. But not a death in the way of absence for eternity. As no thing can ever experience it's own absence.

In the sea he findeth a drop, in a drop he beholdeth the secrets of the sea. Split the atom’s heart, and lo within it thou wilt find a sun.

Celebrate death, for without death, you would never have been alive to know the ocean of oneness.

yep!

We alone are responsible for our own peace of mind, no matter what it takes to achieve it. We can only be the peace we want to see in the world.

There is nothing one who is at peace can do about the lack of peace in others, peace is one's own responsibilty.

When you think about it, humans are only imitating what nature has been doing for eons. It's the nature of nature.

Everything, including wo/man is an emanation of just one single atom.

Such a hypothetical particle was called atomos in Greek, which means “indivisible.” According to modern atomic theory, all matter is made up of tiny particles named atoms from the ancient Greek atomos.

Yes. We must hold onto that also.
