Allegory of the Squirrel 1NC

***** THE 1NC IS NEVER THE SAME. BUT ITS USUALLY LIKE THIS*****
When problems overwhelm, us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well, the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith. For Janet help came from her faith, but it also from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job. She had mounting money problems. But Janet not only survived, she worked her way out of despondency and now she says, life is good again. How could this happen? She told me that late one Autumn day when she was at her lowest she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter, one at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming along, then so can I. Once I broke my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time. That was in a White Stripes song (Little Acorns) The universe is expanding, but we do not know what it is expanding into. This makes the universe simultaneously all-encompassing and incomplete. The universe is therefore both all and none. This makes life itself an unanswerable paradox, and you should default to the only logical explanation: the universe does not even exist. Vote negative on presumption because the expansion of the universe is the foremost metaphysical question and until that question is answered there is no value to the 1AC.
