      Ok, well maybe you should lead with that next time so people will know you’re coming at it from a wildly different angle than most.

      Nothing has ever done anything good if you view things like that, what good has an ant or a flower done?

      The universe doesn’t mind us modifying this rock to our needs, it doesn’t even really mind our pollution either really it’s only us that have that romantic desire for certain types of beauty - the universe churns up and burns down anything it feels like on its ballet, the moments of novelty and beauty are magnificent and destructive.

      We are a part of nature, just as volcano and tree take over and change the landscape so do ant and human. It is all beautiful and all filled with wonder.

      It took great upheavals and vast destruction to ready the world for us, endless apocalypse such as the replacing of the atmosphere with oxygen or invasive species colonising every last inch of soil and sea. It would be a tragedy if we were extinct, one we must fight to avoid just as trees fought to survive and ants. That is what this world is and what all worlds are.

          Maybe, we are a lot rarer though and much more complex. The universe has to work much harder to create a thing such as us

              True but we’re by far the most complex and unique thing around here, every flower is beautiful and every being is a new type of fascination to the universe.

                  That’s where you’re wrong, part of the universe knows you exist, loves you, and is very amused by your opinions - I know because I am that bit of the universe.

                  By stating that we’re like every animal you prove that we are not, do you think a snail pities it’s existence or has that intellectual curiosity to question it’s worth and insult the value of its being?

                  Humans are fascinating and adorable, especially the grumpy emo ones who use the magnificence of their intellect to construct vast and woeful towers of logic from which to decry their own being.
