These are some pretty nice thoughts.

I sometimes wonder what the point of everything is - why we live, why we live how we live, and how we live how we live. Why be happy one day, when someone is dying of starvation every 15 seconds? Why study science when there are places where it takes only quick thinking and grace to save a life? Why are some people cut out for questions, when others are ready to take an answer without hesitation? When does the diversity and indifference of humanity culminate into something that will make a difference, a lasting mark, on our universe? With all of the unpleasant interactions in our world, where is our chance to show the cosmos, and everything in it, that we are Humanity - that we are not the blacks and the whites, the rich and the poor, the Capitalists and the Communists, the Republicans and the Democrats, the superior and the inferior - but that we are one, and that we are a civilization to prevail in the challenges set against us?

I love asking deep questions

where time is not and angels play the paeans of the galaxies;
then speed the stardust on its flight
to change dread darkness into light, cold chaos into ecstasy!

 The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive

Try not to waste your time and energy focusing on things that you have no influence over or cannot change; something you read in the paper, for example, the national debt or what car your neighbour is driving, this week. Use all this new energy and focus hard on the things that 'are' important, things that you 'can' influence and change; relationships, health, study or whatever you want in life.  :)

Science isn't about the learning - it's how you learned that matters.
