Sinister: Galaxies and Beautiful Effects

[Sunset .]

-Look I'm going to read you something, won't you at least stop fidgeting and 
give me your full attention...
-Ok, I promise, I was listening to you anyway,but now you can see my face 
you believe me don't you?
-I'm not entirely sure, but I'm really want to read you this so I will give 
you the benefit of the doubt, just this once you understand? Its just it 
seems important:
        "In the universe today, galaxies usually drift past one another like 
ships in the night, missing each other by large distances. The chance 
collision of galaxies with gas clouds or one another result in strange often 
beautiful effects, caused not by actual collison of matter but by the 
gravitational pull of matter.
The close encounters result in new star formations, rekindling of quasars by 
adding vast amounts of matter to the accretion disk surrounding black holes, 
and even ripping away stars which are lost into intergalatic space"*
-hmmm... well that was nice... I'm not sure,  what you mean though?
-I don't mean anything thats the whole point.  But can't you understand? If 
things so great, so much bigger than ourselves are happening by luck, how on 
earth are we supposed to stand a chance?
At the same time, though, its brilliant, we are out of control... the most 
beautiful things in life happen by accident... its not our fault. We were 
just born insignificent...
- I'm not sure I like this train of thinking, it seems to me you are using 
yet another excuse to wriggle out of real life, I'm not sure how much longer 
you can keep this up?
-I'm not honestly, but what makes you so sure I'm wrong? What if this is 
what real life is? Put it this way: what if I had not heard of Belle and 
Sebastian? and you hadn't either? would we be here now? I very much doubt 
it. And look what we have. It is so much more than either of us know. But 
its pure chance.
And that is just the one thing. You have to start looking around. Right now. 
What's the most beautiful thing you see? I will bet you anything it has 
happened by accident.
