The Universe seems to have two main guiding principles:
• Expansion
• Contraction
Both seem equally important, and actually are probably dependent upon each other for existence.
The galaxies are expanding into space, while the solar systems are contracting into planets and stars. Ecosystems are diversifying, while diverse collections of matter and energy are coalescing into an individual lifeforms.
Similarly, we humans are contracting into like-minded communities, while we are also expanding into global exploration.
Without the push there could be no pull, without the independence there could be no collective, without the local there could be no global. If the Universe is to be trusted, there must always be both expansion and contraction, and we would do well to honor that fact as we make our way through life, because no matter how much we try to only push, there will always be something to pull us back, end vice versa. And if we don’t want to get whiplash when the giant universal rubber band of life snaps us back into our proper place, we’d better be prepared…
