Over Chopin and a tender coconut

The title might seem a little absurd to you. So, let me explain why I've called this post as above.
I was listening to Etude NO.3 OP.10, composed by Chopin, and drinking water out of a tender coconut when I thought of yesterday's conversation with Rookie, La and Paddu.
It all started with Rookie asking me, "What's at the other end of a black hole?" and I replied, "I don't know."(and some other tiny thoughts that I'm going to skip).La thought that there could be a white hole at the other end of a black hole that spits everything out into its own universe.
And that's when we all realized that there are so many ways of looking at the universe. We are a bunch of completely clueless beings stuck with our own perception of the universe,not really knowing what to make of everything and nothing. Are there many universes or just one universe? Is there a God or not? The problem with this God idea is that it depends entirely on faith. But, having faith that God does exist can also mean that God maybe open to us asking(cause we don't have proof or anything) whether he really does exist. In which case we're back to where we started, does he really exist?
Now, this is where i have to point out, that I'm not a person who makes her thoughts very lucid to others. So, if you haven't exactly understood what I've said, then it's not your fault really.(What I mean to say is that you're not dumb......)
This entire blog is based on the perception that there are many universes, one for every decision that any of us beings make. That's a LOT of universes just for the Earthlings.(Of course, the Earth's population is much too high.) It is also based on a perception that everything is quite random.(So, all we need to do is make the best use of the randomness around us.)
But, going a little deeper, we come to the part where our emotions come into play. Why is it natural for us to feel bad when another being is hurt?(We can ignore it, not do anything etc... but at the end of the day, we cannot admit that we do not feel slightly concerned for the other being.)Or why is Art the way it is? (I hope you understand what I mean when I ask these questions. If you don't, you just need to think about it a little.)The problem is that the fact that God exists or doesn't, one universe or many, cannot imply the fact that any of this also happens.
It's like imagining nothing. It's easy for us to imagine everything, but what about imagining a nothing? That's a bit hard to do. So, do the answers to the BIG questions about the universe lie in Nothing or Everything?(Now, here, I'ver used Nothing and Everything as analogies in a funny way. I'm sorry I'm explaining my thoughts so horribly. I really do hope you understand what I'm really trying to say.)

Yes, a lot of big thoughts over Chopin and a tender coconut.

This post is dedicated to La, Paddu and especially Rookie. Your first dedication Rookie! :-)
