Einstein once said that the most important question facing mankind is this: Is the universe a friendly place?
He explained: “For if we decide that the universe is an unfriendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to achieve safety and power by creating bigger walls to keep out the unfriendliness and bigger weapons to destroy all that which is unfriendly and I believe that we are getting to a place where technology is powerful enough that we may either completely isolate or destroy ourselves as well in this process.
“If we decide that the universe is neither friendly nor unfriendly and that God is essentially ‘playing dice with the universe’, then we are simply victims to the random toss of the dice and our lives have no real purpose or meaning.
“But if we decide that the universe is a friendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to create tools and models for understanding that universe. Because power and safety will come through understanding its workings and its motives.”
Basically Einstein frames this as something we decide, a framing that determines the quality of our life and the future of our species. He isn’t proposing that we make an empirical, objective evaluation about some intrinsic property of the universe, but rather that we decide whether or not to live as if the universe is friendly.
I’m pretty sure that this is the sense in which this piece of poetry is asserting that the universe is unfolding “as it should”. At least, that’s how I choose to take it.
