I find this intriguing. Excellent points. How much blood shed has there been to claim a fraction of time for glory? How vain are we to believe that we shall make some impact in the world...world sounds huge until you compare it to the vast openness of the sky.

We don't owe the universe anything, much like how it doesn't owe us anything. We act as we do out of our own will, and although we have the capacity for cruelty, Carl himself would have surely said that it is vastly overshadowed by our curiosity and capacity for kindness to one another. When you see the scale of the universe, the interconnectedness of not just us human monkeys, but all life on earth, limiting yourself to a country or people becomes simply impossible.

@mrcaspiansea Humanity dislikes being told that we are "small", yet we are... But, although we are "small" does not mean we don't owe the universe our best efforts. We either wake ourselves up... Or, we all go down together. Wish the governments of the world would suck it up and realize that simple fact...
