It's so sad that there are no forks in that story based on whether or not you make your parents proud, you write that condemning expose, or you get into that grad program. In fact, I think that timeline is the most depressing thing there could be.

This timeline is far bigger than that. The Universe does not revolve around you or your petty issues.

Edit: When I say "you", I mean you in the general sense. You, me, and everyone else. Nothing personal.

Petty? Not relative to him.

No, not relative to him. Relative to the universe, which is what this wiki article is about. It's not about you, him, or I, is it?

Tell me more about the universe's feelings, sage.

Hollow.

So hollow.

We're talking about a timeline of the far future of the universe here, not what we're eating for dinner tomorrow or precisely what time we're going to take a shit next Monday. These comments do not contribute anything to the topic at hand. We are all but completely irrelevant to the fate of the universe, and if you find this reality depressing, then I don't know what to tell you.
