I was determined not to treat this seriously but I can't help myself: We humans (or a good many of us) are sufficiently arrogant to believe that we are the most important beings not only on Earth but in the universe. Similarly we allow ourselves to believe that this piddling life we are working on is the reason for all that has been, all that is, and all that is yet to be. If our position in the whole catastrophe is somehow determined by our attitude, (which is not an unreasonable suggestion), we don't give ourselves much of a break, do we?
