The universe doesn't give a crap about us. It is totally indifferent and dispassionate; just a set of laws governing cause and affect. Well, it is more than that, but what matters here is that the universe will accept, without judgment or intervention, whatever we set up for ourselves. It is neither for nor against us.
Wisdom -- if you want to ascribe that quality to the universe -- is dispassionate. Wisdom must always be dispassionate. That's why bad things happen to good people; because there is a larger methodology in place that doesn't give two monkeys for our emotional interpretation of where we are at in our lives.
The universe doesn't care how we feel. It cares about what we do; it cares about our intent and the power we put behind it. That is what the universe responds to. It has an unswerving agenda that we are part of; a powerful creation that is unfolding -- that will blindly discard anything that does not align with it's program. There is no glory or fulfillment in the deep sleep of the death escape. There is just one less human in the eyes of the universe.
It is up to us to care about ourselves and our fellow humans, about how we progress, and how we fail. Even the person who says they don't care about life, often seems to care greatly about what they think they are going to achieve in the act of ending it. The upshot is that they still care, but their care is misplaced. If only they could see the uselessness of their actions and how indifferent nature is to them. If only they could see what is possible, what they can be part of creating; they would redirect that caring they still possess into something the universe will conspire with.
