Your writing is eloquent, CS, and your words ring true. I am also certain that there is more to life than a fleeting moment on this dust mote.
Perhaps not "in spite of" but "because of" our collective insignificance in the universe, we are driven to make a difference in the lives of others. I think that was the point Sagan was making. He said, "It is up to us."
