'Universe is under no obligation to make sense to any of us' - Neil DeGrasse Tyson


How many times you've heard yourself asking Why?

Is the statement 'It does not make sense' familiar to you? 

I believe you find yourself lost in these mainly hypothetical questions/sentences daily. 

When you cut your finger with the knife you just bought (oh well, at least some more meat on the apple). When you burn your tongue while trying carefully to sip that morning coffee. When you are 15 years old and you cry over the pillow because your beloved one left you after a 2 month romantic relationship. Maybe you even have had honor to ask Why? when your close family member passed away, your hamster just hanged himself without leaving explanation or your flower started to smell in a water your forgot to change. 

Well, at least the last one has a clear-cut explanation why it happened. 

Why you find yourself where you are. Why your Netflix show has been cancelled or returns only in ages (actually in half a year). Why, after spending 6 years studying economics you find yourself happiest... making coffee, sewing or making music, ... [insert yourself] but not in the bank giving loans to people who desperately need it?

And then you find yourself  at the doorstep of your best friend or relative, or teacher, or guru, or pet, or... who [after you threatening with bad things if does not give any explanation], gives you an answer to your Why? question, you react with 'It does not make any sense'. 

Should it make any sense, though? Any of it above and much more happening in everyone's daily lives? Trying to explain through the pain the reasons behind every day's failures and mistakes, successes and normal emotional ups and downs I find that wonderful sentence which wraps up all the struggles : 'Universe is under no obligation to make sense to any of us'. 

It just is. Like that, as such. And even the best scientists still cannot explain, what has been before the Big Bang and what the hell is the Dark Matter.
