Child of the universe

Max Ehrmann--
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Stephen Crane--
A man said to the universe,
"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

Which of course ignores the possibility that the universe, even if completely devoid of any sense of obligation, may in fact love its offspring anyway.

Which of course wouldn't mean that the universe is unfolding as it should, for even those who love us can treat us badly. Perhaps it is those who love us most who damage us most efficiently.
