Very typically speaking.
When we are born, our parents are issued a birth certificate.
When we die, our children are issued a death certificate.
But the above is, as mentioned earlier, very typically speaking.
Since death doesn't follow any rule.
We can experience death the very next moment that we take birth.
Our life is so simple that way.
It is the period between the date and time mentioned in our birth certificate and death certificate.
In the endless horizon of space and time, which have existed forever and will exist forever, our life is infinitesimally ephemeral and unequivocally inconsequential.
In terms of time, the span of our life, mathematically speaking, tends to zero.
In terms of space, the reach of our life also, mathematically speaking, tends to zero.
The lives of so-called rich and powerful people, mathematically speaking, tend to zero too.
So how do we glorify our lives?
How do claim we were born for doing something great?
And how do we assume our life is special and significant?
The answer to the three questions above is quite evident.
We are zero.
A big zero.
A very big ZERO indeed.
In the context of this cosmos, our birth and death is neither special not significant.
It would not have mattered at all had we not been born.
Indeed, it is true that the birth of a person (or any living being, for that matter) is a unique event in the cosmos.
It is unique since there was never anyone in the past who was exactly like that person and there will never be anyone who will be exactly like that person.
However, if a person is not born, it makes no difference to the cosmos.
In fact, even if no person or living being has even been there, it would have made no difference to the cosmos.
The cosmos is the only reality.
The cosmos is itself the supreme power.
How it came into being is a mystery.
How other things came into being, is easy to explain.
