Being Alone imbues everything we do with a horrible portent. Even, say, using the toilet.

Now you've done it; every bowel movement from now until the End of Time will deemed a Cosmic event.

I'm not sure the world is ready for that....

Now you've done it; every bowel movement from now until the End of Time will deemed a Cosmic event.

For some of us, each such activity has always been a cosmic event.

As for being the best that the universe has to offer, there are two observations: One, it's far better than discovering that the galaxy has been occupied by brighter species for millions of years, and we're beneath the level of their notice. Two, we're well on the way to deliberately improving ourselves. We may be the best now, but we'll get better. So smile.
