Insignificance

It's humbling. Thinking about it. In the grand scheme of things, what are we individually? Tiny. Unimportant. Insignificant. If we die, the world doesn't notice. It's only when we live that the world can notice. But the likelihood of that is so slim that it is near to nothing.
The universe is huge. We as humans are, on average, between 5'6 and 6'. What makes us think that we have any authority to change things just to suit ourselves better? We have no right to do this. We are arrogant, selfish beings that don't stop just at hurting ourselves. We have to hurt everything else and say it's for the good of mankind. Then, when someone cares enough to realize that what we're doing is wrong, humans basically say "Mah bad."
Instead of dreaming of a world where humans rule, we should be dreaming of a world where we co-rule with every other species on our planet and any others. Or even better, where we deliberately place ourselves below them. And everything we do is to help them.
