The only way to create something from nothing is to break it in two.
For example:
There is no high tide without low tide.
There is no night without day.
There is no good luck without bad luck (otherwise luck would have no meaning).
There is no happiness without sadness.
Life is a sine wave. It has ups and downs.
The period of a human sine wave is roughly 80 yrs I'd say, a typical life expectancy in a modern western country nowadays. It may get longer in the future as we improve healthcare, society, etc. Maybe even indefinite if we can reverse aging?
But, what about the sine wave of the universe? Does this mean the expansion may stop at point, that it will start to contract again?
But that's the rate of change.. you get volume by integration. Does that imply there is also (going to be) a universe with negative volume?
I digress.For me that is a rhetorical question. I agree with your statements. We as humans tend to converge to a psychological neutral state, no matter the experiences we've had in the past. Some things in daily life may remind of us our past.. some memories that are important to hold on to, other memories important to work through, but that ultimately makes the high and low tides we are all faced with.
