The recurrent cycles of the universe are the same, up and down, from eternity to eternity. And either the mind of the whole has a specific impulse for each individual case - if so , you should welcome the result - or it had a single original impulse, from which all else follows in consequence: and why should you be anxious about that? The Whole is either a good - then all is well: or if purposeless - some sort of random arrangement of atoms or molecules - you should not be without purpose yourself.
In a moment the earth will cover us all. Then the earth too will change, and further successive changes to infinity. One reflecting on these waves of change and transformation, and the speed of their flow, will hold all mortal things in contempt.
