Something To Think About

Stephen Myslinski 1932

Narrative
               Something To Think About

Have you ever wondered why the universe is here? When you think about it there are only two possibilities. It is here because, in some form, it always was and always will be here or it was created by God who always was and always will be here. However, you may still wonder why the universe or God always was here rather than simply nothing at all. Since we may never know for certain the answer to all this, let’s just try to enjoy everything here while we are here.

           Live a little. Have some fun.
           Enjoy your life before it’s done.
           Forget your worries. Try to smile.
           We’re here for such a little while.
