We are all part of this existence we call the universe. “Things” and “people,” organic material or empty space, it is all matter. Gas, liquid, solid or plasma, everything is made up of elementary particles bouncing off each other and colliding and annihilating each other. Our atoms are interacting with the environment and “space” around us. In that sense, although the types of bonds between the basic particles may vary, we, and everything, is all connected. We are all individual interacting parts of a collective whole—the universe. It is absolutely surreal when one considers life from this perspective. We are the universe. We are one. We are matter. We are alive.
