Lately i have been wondering why the universe is so complex. I cannot comprehend how something that is said to be arbitrary can be so uniformly perfect,from perspective, I hate that I have no free will or i assume I do not, nor can I comprehend the meaning of anything.I think I am having an existential crisis but I am only 15 what should i do?. I think i want to comprehend the vast greatness of the universe but is that theoretically possible?
