Where are you in the universe.......?
Where are you in the known universe.........????
One might say they are at the center of the universe, and it revolves around them. (Ego a side this is a very valid and honest answer).
Another might state they are at the edge and they observe all. (Sounds good but largely Bull Snot).
Yet one might say that, "they are the universe".
Most will say, "What is on TV tonight".

We are lost in space, lost in creation, lost in a vast mind boggling mystery that is full of fear, danger, love, joy, hate, ignorance and learning.

Given that I gained two pounds I would say that I am the expanding outward universe.

Sometimes I feel like I am the captain of a ship with 3 other souls aboard I must train and guide through troubled seas that they may too embark upon their own journeys. I have to be careful of hidden obstacles below the waves. I'll let no friendly ships come too close for fear they may actually be pirates all high on kraken.

Most minds cannot perceive the scope of "where one is in the universe".
If just our solar system alone, was the size of a quarter, the sun (which is a million times larger than the earth) would be a microscopic speck. That is just OUR solar system. The closest star to us, if that system was the size of a quarter also, would be over two football fields length away.
The Fellowship of the Ring (book)
'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.
'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'
Just make the most of your time here.

I am taking the scenic route to the 6th demention and enjoying every minute of it.
Most people think I can't find my butt with both hands and roadmap.
Fooled them!

You know, if you really truly want an answer to your philosophical questions, you need to stop putting your preformed, biased answers in the question.

If you ever go to Florida and to the Kennedy Space Center, you need to watch the IMAX film about the hubble telescope....it takes you from earth to the end of the visible universe and all the galaxies that are just in our vision , you are right, you can't perceive the scope of where one is in the universe.

I am simply a crew member of the space vessel known as Earth. Currently my place in the universe is along the holding pattern this craft is flying over and over again.
Will a flight change path occur during my tour of duty? Will I be transferred to another space vessel during my tour of duty? Who knows? All I am certain of is my tour of duty will last as long as I live and at the end of my tour my remains will remain on whatever spacecraft I am on as reusable raw materials.
Of course if the Vogon construction fleet arrives to remove this craft to make room for a hyperspace bypass hopefully I will have a clean bath towel in hand and either have three bottles of Guinness at hand or a strange acquaintance making a couple gargleblasters to soften the effect of the poetry I will have to endure after having hitched our first ride.

If I ever need to know, the Universe will let me know.
