The Secret of Life

I am the secret of the universe,

You can find me out in the cosmos,

Or right here on earth.

You see me everyday,

You see me all in the environment all around you,

You have been constantly led astray from me in the daytime,

But you confront me at night.

Academics of all sorts spend their lives trying to find me,

Never realizing that I was right there the whole time.

Some handle me with care,

Others throw me out like yesterday's garbage.

I, with habit, are the keys to solving the world's problems.

You woldn't believe how simple the secret is. 

Society may crumble, or it may rise from learning about me.

So I will ask you a simple question......

What do you think the secret is?
