The Universal Question


There is not, and cannot be, a universal answer; for that matter, it can be reasonably doubted whether, beyond mankind, as we call ourselves, there is any question or answer, let alone the notion of a universe. The tragedy, or comedy, of it all is that it does not even matter whether we feel good or bad about it.

Extremely powerful image.
Looks like a pit dark and deep but with a safety hatch for those that have the capacity to cling on despite reality!
