cosmic liturgy
A cosmic liturgy is a grandiose ceremony in which humanity proclaims its tiny vows into the endless void, festooning its own impotence with pomp and circumstance. Even though the choir of stars is conspicuously absent, scholar-conductors and devotees zealously applaud for an audience of none. Dressed in highfalutin rhetoric and discourse, it rarely results in any genuine blessing. Much like a Ferris wheel with splendid signage but no destination, it revolves with no real purpose. As a global display of self-congratulation, it proudly parades its utmost sincerity to the void.
