I feel the answer is somewhere between Arthur Dent and Painter.
Each individual life may not mean much, exept our own life to us.
however, we never know which of those lives will turn into a Leonardo DaVinci, nor do we know who will become Adolf Hitler.
some people hold value to life because of religious reasons - kinda "do unto others..".
others have a bent vision - because of religion. (the you don't think what I think, so you must be destroyed)
While our lives might mean little in the cosmic scheme of things, if we thought that way we would be too depressed to live - that is why people need to invent reasons why we are important.
Ego is a necessary part of survival.
Now, who has that tea with Jack Daniels?
