On the grand scale of time, from the creation of earth to the present, man is but a fractional portion of that timeline. A small blip on the metaphorical radar, and in truth incredibly insignificant in the larger picture. One day, like many species that came before us, for one reason or another we will face our own extinction, and afterwards, it will be as if we had never been.
