we are all ONE in spacetime. all living things on this teeny tiny planet Earth are RELATED, and if it so happens that our planet, among the trillions and quadrillions of possible planets i the multi-verse, is the ONLY ONE where the natural processes of stellar formation, planet formation, and ecosystem formation allowed for the crucial spriging forth of self-replicating "life", then we have a nearly GODLIKE responsibility to maintain it, spread it through the solar system and galaxy, and NURTURE it.
I think it is beautiful.
and it is as fragile as a frozen fart bubble in the asscrack of an underwater eskimo.

at times like these, when the sky is falling, I am thankful to be a man of faith, as I have entirely lost my confidence in the abilities of people to be good stewards for the planet.. luckily for us we are not necessarily in charge here
