The light from a star that exploded 12 million years ago has reached earth and you can see it around the Big Dipper with a good pair of binoculars.

So what happens now then?
Contentment is knowing that you're right. Happiness is knowing that someone else is wrong.

Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation.
