Are we special,
Favoured by the universe?
Intricate and amazing,
We shine like the stars,
But, so too, does a cockroach.
Filled with our own self-importance,
We have lost perspective.
Musings on an uncertain future.
Are we special,
Favoured by the universe?
Intricate and amazing,
We shine like the stars,
But, so too, does a cockroach.
Filled with our own self-importance,
We have lost perspective.

If everything in the universe has that same perspective, is that not important for life and then are we still wrong to believe it?

Maybe it is a function of all life to believe it is the centre of the universe and more important than anything else, but that can neither be proved or disproved (for humanity in particular or any other species) and given that, then I’d say that, yes, we are wrong to believe it.
