Have you ever understood or comprehended that an insect or animal, such as a dog (we'll use dog) perceives it's 10-15 year lifespan as we do say 60-80? It's relative to what you are. At least that is the way I look at it.

Everything that is happening all around us, be it 14.5 billion years (to us) is happening in an instant on the grand scale of things. The entire universe is just BOOM. There it is, and it's gone. We are just lucky enough to experience it. God? Doubt it, but who the fuck am I to say? I can not answer that with any certainty. Nor can you.

We will never understand it. It is happening slow, to us. If there is something, someone or something higher looking in it? It was a sneeze. That quick. Over and done with. We are just caught in the middle.
