I can't believe I have never heard this song until now.

If the entire universe were compressed together, the amount of volume it would all take up would be smaller than the head of needle. Everything is just space; and where there is space, stress and confusion have a place to exist.

All of this extra volume is just to meant to intimidate us. To discourage us. The more you enlarge a picture, the uglier it gets. Enlarging a picture, now you see all of the tiny little pixels clearly, taking away from the beauty of the picture itself. These pixels think that they are so beautiful when in fact, they are nothing compared to the picture itself, and are only beautiful in the context of the picture and their neighboring pixels. And this is the paradox. The pixel is not beautiful in itself, but it is necessary for the beauty of the entire picture.

When we make the picture so spacious, we start to think that it really is this ugly, and we become overwhelmed. But it isn't, it isn't this ugly, this evil in our lives doesn't really mean anything, it doesn't really exist, you are just inflating the picture too much, making it impossible to see the condensed version, where all of these seemingly ugly things actually make a beautiful masterpiece.

All of this added space in the universe makes us think that the world is really an ugly place, when in fact, it isn't. It's just enlarged by all of this space, making us look uglier than we really are, making us focus on ourselves and not realizing that it is everything around us, the context of our lives, which makes our lives beautiful, not we ourselves who make our lives beautiful.

All of this space, we mistake it for matter. We mistake it for a tangible thing, having a real impact on our lives. We trip all over this nonexistent, imagined matter, and we allow it to confuse us and make us depressed and lose hope. But condense it, condense the universe, and see that is not really fearsome. It is smaller than the head of a needle. Everything is simply space, and don't let this space bully you around.

No matter what kind of junk food you are eating, whether it is candy, chips, ice cream, chocolate bars, they all now claim to be beneficial towards your health somehow. It has 35% daily value of Vitamin C! It is proven to reduce cholesterol! It has antioxidants! And I think it is pathetic.

Have we really gotten to the point of being so self righteous that we must convince ourselves that even when we are indulging, we are doing a good thing? We are becoming so primitive. We can't do anything simple because it is the Right thing to do, no matter how undesirable it might be? And why can't we even admit to being selfish anymore? No, I'm not eating this junk food because I'm a glutton, I'm eating it because it is good for me! After all, I don't do anything unless it is the right thing! My burger was fried in vegetable oil! Veggies are good, so my burger is good!

Despite how unreasonable my generalizations might be, you get my point. Sure, we could have come from apes, but we seem to be way too in touch with our animal instincts. Animals aren't even as bad as us; they have to work their butts of to satisfy those "desires." The fact of the matter is that yes, we have evolved, we have changed. I could care less what we came from; we are human beings now, intellectual beings, moralistic and ethical beings, that have a conscience that goes off which tells us when we are doing something wrong.

I don't understand. We are only babying ourselves by making unhealthy foods healthier. This does not encourage good habits.
