We are surrounded by the absurd excess of the universe. By meaningless bulk, vastness without size, power without consequence. The stubborn iteration that is present without being felt.

Understanding these things could help us immensely in our own search for inner peace and a meaning to life.

One cannot ignore half of life for the purposes of science, and then claim that the results of science give a full and adequate picture of the meaning of life.

Wheresoe'er I turn my view,
All is strange, yet nothing new:

Trick'd in antique ruff and bonnet,
Ode, and elegy, and sonnet.
