a thorn

People always say "death is a part of life." On the contrary, life is but a small part of death.

If we think of the universe, even if we want to say that it is teeming with life on billions of planets, they remain but a small fraction of the total size of the universe. Think of all the stars, all the planets, meteors, commits, moons, nebulas. The majority of the universe does not hold life. It is life that is an inescapable persistent thorn in the side of death. Wherever you go in the universe death prevails and life perseveres.
