I was thinking before as I am apt to do and for some reason I focused on the theory of extraterrestrial life.
Are we really alone in the universe? Out of the billions upon billions of stars out there is not one that is capable of supporting life? Seems pretty horrible if you think about it. So much empty space with only one tiny speck of life. Might explain why some people seem to think they deserve everything.
On the other hand, maybe there is life out there and the simple reason we haven't made contact is that they saw us and steered clear. Can't really blame them actually.
So those are the two extremes. There is life or there isn't. Each seeming too tremendous to comprehend. That leaves one option somewhere in the middle. Something that exists but is not alive.
OH MY GOD, THE UNIVERSE IS POPULATED BY THE UNDEAD.
Well now we're screwed.
