כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאוד והעיקר לא לפחד כלל
Nachman of Breslov said, “The world is a very narrow bridge — the important thing is not to let it all make you fearful.”
This bridge is the middle path between the two extremes. We do not often perceive clearly how narrow it truly is, nor do we understand how fearful it makes us.
Whether your cosmology has room for a supreme being or not, the probability of either of these universes coming to exist ex nihilo is either a humbling improbability, or conversely, as some have suggested, the only thing that possibly could have happened.
Truly, we are born of paradox and shall die in it. The important thing is not to let it all make you fearful.
