Mother Nature is cruel and we are at the pinnacle. It’s kind of cool to see such sentiments that are so uncharacteristic for the cold, dark universe. I wonder if there is a single place out there where similar behaviours could develop. Would anyone else view them as we do or is it intrinsically human?

If you lean towards moral truth being at least somewhat universal, then this wouldn't be intrinsically human at all.

I think morality is a human social construct. A very beautiful one though but one that can only exist to various degrees if there is certain level of comfort and prosperity.

Ultimately it is merely a tiny splinter in the vast cosmos. I like it nevertheless and sticking to it makes me feel good. I like to get high
