I feel like the best thing, as far as what I do with kids, is I treat them like human beings.
Your center of mass is a place you cannot visit but you always carry with you. Like memories, it is part of life's baggage.
To assert that the universe has a purpose implies the universe has intent. And intent implies a desired outcome. But who would do the desiring? And what would a desired outcome be? That carbon-based life is inevitable? Or that sentient primates are life's neurological pinnacle? Are answers to these questions even possible without expressing a profound bias of human sentiment? Of course humans were not around to ask these questions for 99. 9999% of cosmic history. So if the purpose of the universe was to create humans then the cosmos was embarrassingly inefficient about it.

We were told that they wished merely to pass through our country. . . to seek for gold in the far west. . . Yet before the ashes of the council are cold, the Great Father is building his forts among us. . . . His presence here is. . . an insult to the spirits of our ancestors. Are we then to give up their sacred graves to be allowed for corn?
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
