i refuse to entertain the idea that the universe is an "uncaring void". you're not a stranger to the universe. the big bang produced you, and you care.
i refuse to entertain complaints that love is "just a chemical". everything is a chemical. love is made of the same stuff you are. when you complain that love is a chemical all i hear is that, in your opinion, love is too real.
We are [part of/a manifestation of] the universe, we can impose care and purpose onto it and in fact have a responsibility to do so
absolutely agreed
it's a collaboration. we are part of the universe, providing the intelligence and goal-direction and storytelling, while the rest of the universe provides all the STUFF
