Just an odd thought on life itself, and how basically all life tries to create more life. Because of this life changes and adapts how it creates life. Starting first from cooperation of amino acids to create cells, cells dividing sharing dna, then sex for a new form of reproduction. All levels simply trying to survive and produce more life. Well, what I can foresee is a rather radical next jump the forms of life. What if, as great as humanity is, we were never meant to mingle among the stars. That instead we are to create that next form of life that will populate the stars. Imagine if you will large ships with automated controls and vast stores of genetic seeds. The ships are designed to run using nuclear fusion, feed on hydrogen and stars using the fused material to repair any damage they have sustained while they wander the stars. "Living" for millions of years, like days to them, traveling to find more planets to populate with life forms that will convert the raw materials of the planet into more seed ships. Living on this vast almost inconceivable time scale, as chance random encounters with other ships like themselves, exchanging information about the universe and about how to better repair or spread life. Living even beyond when the universe possibly expands so far that all the stars burn out and leave behind nothing more than gasses from which they feed and continue. Guess I'll never live long enough, but it might make a good Sci-Fi short.
Sometimes the world makes you feel helpless. You think you can change the world and the harder you push the more it pushes back. Sometimes it moves a little, sometimes the little bits add up and you find you CAN move mountains. You just have to keep your attitude high as that IS the thing you can change. No matter bad things look just keep the attitude up and things will begin to get better, slowly, but surely. Heads up, stay positive, we're all in this together!
