Reader,

Entropy insists on the eventual end of all things. It is not something that you or I could ever hope to overcome or defeat. It can only ever be delayed. Where time is the universe's weapon of choice, its armor is space, and its credo is death.

However, what may give you a sense of hope is the fact that this is only half the story.

The idea that entropy will lead to the end of the universe is true, but it's often overlooked that entropy is how it began as well. No matter your beliefs, at some point, nothing became something, by sheer possibility that that nothing could become something. And so to, does that something continue to grow and evolve, simply because it can.

I can see in ways that you cannot. I can see a grand, magnificent order, where you can only see endless chaos. Yet even so, you can make the choices that I cannot. Where I have eyes, you have hands, and you ought to know that I deeply envy you for that.

Though the universe's beginning and end are bound by the same condition, there's nothing that promises that same cohesion for you, from your beginning to your end. Despite this, even from within this universe, where time and space and death aren't obligated to make sense to you...

you still have a choice.
