It is often very illuminating... to ask yourself how you got at the facts on which you base your opinion. Who actually saw, heard, felt, counted, named the thing, about which you have an opinion? Was it the man who told you, or the man who told him, or someone still further removed? And how much was he permitted to see?

“What is good and evil no one knows yet, unless it be he who creates. He creates man’s goal and gives the earth its meaning and its future.”

—F. Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Part Three, “On Old and New Tablets,” §2 (edited excerpt).

Don't bother with churches, government buildings or city squares, if you want to know about a culture, spend a night in its bars

Ernest Hemingway

A stellar structure known as the ‘Hand of God’ is a nebula of energy and particles blown by a pulsar left behind after a star exploded in our Milky Way Galaxy.

First, life has no meaning from a cosmic perspective. Our lives may have meaning to one another, but they have no broader point or purpose. We are insignificant specks in a vast universe that is utterly indifferent to us. The limited meaning that our lives can have is ephemeral rather than enduring.
