[QUOTE="Addendum_Forthcoming, post: 4165, member: 22"] Absolutely not. There is no objective truth, humans are capable of dying for something larger than themselves and (most importantly) explain why, and it is more than in our capacity to be decent humans that seek not to demean others but celebrate their existence. To put it pointedly, we are the universe recognizing itself. Coming to grips with it. Isolated little dots of starlight, separated by unfathomable distances. And people are clearly capable of not only internalizing that esoteric idea of universal awareness, but are capable of seeing its beauty and chaos in other people despite lonely and isolated consciousnesses. Humans are a transient, winking starlight in a universe far older than it, and a universe that will outlive us. To put it another way, there is no grand plan--but to put it another way, [i]there is no grand plan[/i]. It's a matter of perspective. Whether you choose to count stars and recognize people's starlight, or dwell on the unfathomable abyss between them, and that it truly matters not if they live or die. People should count stars.
