"Hydrogen is a light, odorless gas which given enough time turns into people"
"Hydrogen is a light, odorless gas, which, given enough time, turns into people." When our universe began, it consisted mostly of hydrogen. That gas condensed into galaxies of stars, in whose cores heat and pressure fused atoms into heavier elements, including those necessary for life.

The above statement will make sense to you if you know it for a fact that when the universe began it consisted only of hydrogen and which fused to form helium through nuclear fusion and all other elements were and are being cooked in the stars and also if you know for a fact that aminoacids and ribo nucleic acid which are none other than complex chemical structures with an arrangement of carbon,hydrogen, nitrogen etc., in such a way that it somehow got replicated and if there are no doubts in your mind about evolution then etch it in your mind that you are nothing but a tiny, varying clump of matter in this universe with an added ability to think, theorize, discover and prove about it's own origin and journey. And this tiny, varying clump of matter existing in your lifetime is given a name(your name). It is a varying clump of matter because you are not a definite and exclusive "you" as there are a billion Escherichia coli inside you and CO2, O2, all type of elements in the form of food come and go out of your body..So you are a tiny, varying clump of matter of this universe and after your lifetime all the atoms of your body will be still be in this universe and which will eventually get transformed to other forms/atoms of matter in this earth and once our sun engulfs the earth and all other planets after 5 billion years when it becomes a red giant, all of the transformed atoms of the present "you" will go inside the sun for another spectacular stellar explosion to give rise to another star( read it as another sun as all stars are suns in a vast distance and they will not be in a star shape and they look star shaped because of the scattering of light in earth's atmosphere) and possibly another set of planets which may or may not host life...so the bottom line is it took 13.5 billion years to get this tiny, varying clump of matter(you) formed in this rare life hosting planet...so does that sound as a good enough reason to live your life and appreciate your life..if you still wonder try contemplating about life 2000 years back and another 2000 years back and repeat this for another sixty seven lakh forty nine thousand nine hundred and ninety eight times to reach back 13.5 billion years in the past. So you are the universe and you are given this life to realize it truly and it goes with Vivekananda's words
In whom is the universe, who is in the universe, who is the universe; in whom is the soul, who is in the soul, who isthe soul; knowing that Truth--and therefore the universe--as our Self, alone extinguishes all fear, brings an end to misery, and leads to infinite freedom.
the great Tamil saint who wrote thirumandiram 1000 years before says that one ruins his life by not knowing who himself is and when he gets the knowledge as to whom he is and realizes that he is nothing but Him then he will worship himself as Him.
What graciousness can one command 251
who feeds his flesh by flesh gourmand

தன்னை அறிந்திடில் தனக்கொரு கேடில்லை
தன்னை அறியாமல் தானே கெடுகின்றான்
தன்னை அறியும் அறிவை அறிந்த பின்
தன்னை அர்ச்சிக்க தான் இருந்தானே !
- ஆசான் திருமூலர்
தன்னை அறியாமல் தானே கெடுகின்றான்
தன்னை அறியும் அறிவை அறிந்த பின்
தன்னை அர்ச்சிக்க தான் இருந்தானே !
- ஆசான் திருமூலர்
in 3 words
You are Him
and an implied meaning of all this is everyone is the same and it is our ignorance to remain divided in our own world, in our own self and not to have compassion to others or other life forms..abstinence from flesh is insisted in thirukural by thiruvalluvar
குறள் 251
தன்னூன் பெருக்கற்குத் தான்பிறி தூனுண்பான்
எங்ஙனம் ஆளும் அருள்
தன்னூன் பெருக்கற்குத் தான்பிறி தூனுண்பான்
எங்ஙனம் ஆளும் அருள்
What graciousness can one command 251
who feeds his flesh by flesh gourmand
