The self-centered universe.
In this suburb of a largish galaxy in an area adjacent to a visible horizon where most of the universe is beyond our visible horizon and they in turn can not see beyond theirs, here on Earth I witnessed self-centeredness in a nutshell today.
A woman coming out of the post office walked excruciatingly slowly across a lane in the parking lot. Owing to the miracle of consciousness a pickup truck stopped to avoid hitting her without her apparent awareness. The pickup truck crept forward as she got in her car and backed up narrowly missing the truck.The truck stopped again as another car ahead of him backed out which prompted the lady behind the truck to honk over and over for not moving. Gradually the car backed out and proceeded forward as the lady still honked at the truck.
In a short while all involved will return to carbon and be recycled in a number of ways, some of which will also be self centered as Andromeda careens toward the Milky Way without awareness.
