One of two things - either you don't want to express it, or you can't.

Ah... I now understand the game. And this is a very good answer.

Reduced, "The Universe Reflects" would be my three-word answer.

Ultimately Entropy wins.

Stretch your hand into a bucket of water. Then take your hand out of the water. "Observe the effect" that your hand had on water.

My grandfather taught me this one. Although his example was digital (use your finger) and around 250-300 mL (a drinking glass).

ETA, The only good thing about life is that there is absolutely nothing you can do to change the outcome, hence there is no point in worrying about it.

Life is probably an accident that serves no specific purpose.
It will inevitably end, so "Enjoy the ride".
Or not, as you choose.

I have been told on more than one occasion that I would make a great Motivational-Speaker.

My last post was a bit too grim for a general audience, so I will add:

Some say there is no end and every termination is the beginning of something better. It remains to be seen, but I have reached the conclusion that it is probably true.

It is risqué to discuss such topics on an open forum IMHO.

Lyrics
My faith whispers "Keep on going,
Might be a miracle just over that hill"
There ain't no way I'm gonna ever know it
Standing still
I'll keep trying and fear can't stop me
Close my eyes, let my spirit run free
I feel my heart when I'm dreaming
That's how I see
Life's a journey, not a destination
I can't let myself forget
One day there's gonna be a celebration
God's not through with me yet
No one's asking "What are you doing?"
God's gonna tell me when it can be done
Love's gonna sing out and help me get there
I've just begun
Life's a journey, not a destination
I can't let myself forget
One day there's gonna be a celebration
God's not through with me yet
Every ending is a new beginning
I'm gonna start right now
Only way that I know how
I'll take a step
Then take another step
Life's a journey, not a destination
I can't let myself forget
One day there's gonna be a celebration
God's not through with me yet
Life's a journey, not a destination
I can't let myself forget
One day there's gonna be a celebration
God's not through with me yet
Every ending
Is a new beginning
Every ending is a new beginning
Every ending is a new beginning

Eternity ahead. Consciousness is immortal, mind is finite.

The book contains 3,854 numbered entries and approximately 7,000 illustrations.
Citations to Ashley numbers are usually in the form: "The Constrictor Knot (ABOK #1249)", "ABOK #1249" or even simply "#1249" if the context of the reference is clear or already established.

The Ashley Book of Knots is an encyclopedia of knots written and illustrated by the American sailor and artist Clifford W. Ashley. First published in 1944, it was the culmination of over 11 years of work. The book contains 3,854 numbered entries and approximately 7,000 illustrations.

Ashley suffered a debilitating stroke the year after the book was published.[3] He was not able to produce an erratum or oversee a corrected edition.

Isn't life just beautiful?
