Cosmic events are manifestations both on the macroscopic and on the microscopic scale. The fact that the Andromeda Galaxy, our closest galactic neighbor, is approaching us by about 300 kilometers (190 miles) per second, and will merge with our own Milky Way, is a projected event so far ahead, that it becomes a form of poetic mythos for us, absolutely comparable in terms of emotional response to having your favorite coffee maker break down, or losing the bus on subconscious purpose while a favorite song blasts its riffage on your headphones. The never ending and unfulfillable quest for Freedom of Will, overlaps all scopes and measures. Never stop tracing it.
