Late Night Thoughts

Have you ever been stuck wide awake at night, thinking about the smaller details in life and how they fit into the big picture? Have you ever simply sat there contemplating the universe? With my post today, I am going to explore one common thought and explanations for it, as well as my own thoughts on the subject. The first most common thought is, "Are we truly alone in the universe," and roughly fifty percent of the people you ask will argue that there is, and the other half will argue that there isn't. Now, when you contemplate it yourself, it seems like there is, and that there isn't at the same time. Why? Maybe it's because we're not really alone, or maybe it's because we feel the need that we're not alone. That being said, we start searching, sometimes hopelessly, for an answer even if it's an irrational or illogical explanation. When I think about where we fit in the universe, I choose a less conventional explanation, but it seems sound enough to satisfy the need for knowledge when it occurs. I try not to think of it in the terms of extraterrestrial life, or anything remotely similar, but I feel that we are more interconnected than we think. Deja vu is the phenomenon of recognizing a person, place, or event, without ever having experienced it prior, but knowing how to deal with said event. Maybe it isn't extraterrestrial life that we should be looking for, but rather the moments where we feel connected more as a singular being with others. It just might be something to think about.
