Beloved Possessions, Now and Then- car, friends, fantasy football trophy (now), my big wheeler (then)

Problems- forgetting, time management

3 topics that confuse me are war, evolution, and the creation of the universe. War confuses me because it seems unnecessary. People shouldn’t have to kill each other to solve problems. I understand that it is ingrained into society at this point, but why it was created in the first place confuses me. Evolution confuses me too. It’s a really cool concept to think about, how species can pass down traits that benefit the overall species and get rid of the traits that are harmful through natural selection. It’s really cool and confusing to think about. Especially when you consider that all the living things around you stemmed from the evolution of single celled organisms. The most confusing topic is how the universe got created. It’s just such a crazy thing to think about. How did the first piece of matter come into existence? How did enough pieces of matter come into existence to create all of the planets and organisms around us? What caused the laws of physics to come into place? It’s a very confusing topic to consider.
