"You are right. We are tiny sacks of flesh and bones on a tiny rock floating through the infinitely bigger space we call universe. The impacts of our actions only matter to the few close to us. The absolute overwhelming majority of creatures on this planet doesn't know us, doesn't care about us, won't notice any effect when we vanish. Our lives, our selfes, our material possessions will be forgotten in a time frame that is in itself nothing compared to the age of the universe and what is going to come. You should give me a raise."
