Soup

When you learn about someone else's misfortune, you are reminded of your own vulnerability.

You try to find reasons to believe you are exempt from suffering.

You want to believe that you are in control, that the world is fundamentally fair, and that you get what you deserve.

Terrible things can happen to you, for reasons that you cannot possibly control.

There is no fate to deserve. There is no lesson to learn. There is no reason to anything.

You will eventually be disassembled and spread across the vast cosmos to be anything else that could be except you.

The Universe will pour you back into the soup of everything.
