Somewhere on the edge of a Galaxy, one of literally billions of such
galaxies, is a sun, one of literally billions of suns in that
galaxy.
Orbiting that sun is a small rock 330000 times smaller than that
sun.
This rock is covered by a very very thin scum of life. (Think 6000km
of rock followed by a meter or so of biomass.)
Amongst the millions of species in that scum are many hundreds of
thousands of types beetle and a mere handful of primates.
Surprisingly enough, this email does not originate from a beetle.
It originates from just one of the 6 billion vastly outnumbered humans.
I trust you will keep this perspective and context in mind when
reacting to this email.
