The polysemous word
When people say space they usually mean something that is far away from them, something that contains all those stars and planets and other celestial bodies. When people say space they mean those black holes, and meteorites and so on and so forth. But this world is actually a word of a number of meanings. For example philosophers recognize space as the order of this universe. When they say space those are not just celestial bodies they mean, but they mean a lot more. They mean the ordered universe when they say so. They recognize space as something that keep the vitally energy of this world and this earth. They think the very truth of this life and reasons for this world to exist are hidden in space and it is not that hard to realize it, all they have to do is to neglect everything material and concentrate on connection with space. See, when talking about space people should mind all those meaning common for this world because in case they misunderstand its meaning they will never realize what it is about. And sure, there is a common expression about people need some space, and space in this case also means the unlimited expanse for people.
