Please think about this. You always know the most about your own little neighborhood. But that leads you to conclude your little neighborhood is somehow important.

In truth, it is only important because you live there. And you obviously think you are important.

For vast numbers of Humans, their perception, their daily life, is driven by a remarkable lack of humility and ignorance and self-importance.

You likely live in a house or apartment on a street, and in a community that is part of some town, maybe even some major urban area.

Your community is likely part of a much larger state or province of one of the nations of Earth – which are themselves nothing more than imaginary constructs of Human Society.

You are small and the Earth is seemingly vast, as if we Humans to Earth are just so many micro-organisms scurrying about each day and following rules of social engagement that often defy logic.

Your seemingly vast Earth is but a tiny planet. Earth is one of eight planets orbiting the Sun – a tiny star by star standards – part of a planetary system called the Solar System.

The Sun resides in the solar neighborhood of stars, a small smattering of stars found in the Orion Spur – a nondescript little corner of the Milky Way galaxy.

The Milky Way is a vast city of stars, with enough stars to give 50 to every Human on Earth. Right now, you, your family, and the rest of your race are orbiting just one of those stars.

So using yourself to summarize – You live in a house on a street in a town in the state of …, the country of …, the continent of …, on Earth, in the Solar System, in the solar neighborhood, in the Orion spur of the Milky Way galaxy, in the local group of galaxies, near the Virgo cluster of galaxies, in the local supercluster of galaxies in the tiny corner of the universe you like to call the observable universe.

And while you burn precious, non-renewable calories watching reality television, following the lives of the rich and famous, acquiring lots of things, deciding which of us is better or more deserving or more moral, and buying into the distorted views of what our societies have our children embrace as heroes and role models, your World – the spaceship that allows you this view of majesty – is coming under attack.

The microbes called Human kill one another because each group, each culture, thinks they are more important than the other. It is self-importance taken to the extreme.

Self-serving technology is modifying the environment of the planet, not only threatening existence for generations to come but countless species that do not have the gift of recognizing the majesty of the cosmos.

Isn’t it ironic that the only species on Earth that does possess the gift of intelligence, does not collectively care about its World?
