People forget that man is a PART of Nature, & whatever we do, in our arrogance  thinking it's everyti8ng cataclysmic, Nature simply asbsorbs into her paradigm.

That RI-sized island of plastic floating in the Pacific that rco-groups &  lobbyists are going nuts over? Natuire absorbed that long ago -- dismantling  it, however, will instantly kill millions of living creatures & cause untold  numbers to lose their home, & more quickly become prey.

George Carlin suggested, perhaps tongue-n-cheeik, perhaps as a  prophet(forthteller, not foreteller) that Nature evolved humans explicitly  because Nature waned plastic & this was the most efficient way to get it. . .

It amuses me that this does not contradict any known science, so may well be  true. . . No, I don't BELIEVE it,. I think. . .

Doesn't matter what I think or do -- Nature(or "God"-- I don't discriminate)  will out in the end, regardless of my thoughts, statements, or actions.

I'm at peace with the fact that in the universe, I'm insignicant.

Even onm Earth, I pretty much am; 1 in 8,000,000,000+ isn't a significant ratio
-- in mos5t any rounding system, my existance is zero.  What do I care -- 
sleep, wake, drink coffee, get paid, play online -- for me, I'm a 1 in 1 -- you can't get more significant than 100%

Yup, I relate everything to mathematics, as that's the language all  existance(the universe) was written in.

In my houeshold, I'm 1:5(20%); but our family isn't a Democracy -- it's a  Parentocracy, so maybe I'm more like 30%. 

Doesn't matter; got coffee & I get paid.

One day my molecules will join the rest of Nature, to be absorbed as per her  existing & evolving paradigms ("pair o' diggums")
