Everything's the same in this Universe, from a certain point of view.
What's the difference between a rat dying and a star collapsing?
It's in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
We're bits of nothing into that vaste emptyness we call the Universe.
Patterns repeat because in fact there are as many as infinite universes nested one into the other. Think about the atoms, for instance. They have their own galaxies and empty space and colliding forces. Like fractals or the number aleph.
When we address the infinity, all of us (human, not human, atom, whatever) are equal before the Great Thing, or the Great Void, as you prefer.
Just in my humble opinion, of course.
