Dark Skies and Shining Stars: The Universe

Dark skies and shining stars. The universe is full of life, yet we perceive it in a completely different way. Have you ever paused your walk while walking under the moon lit night sky, looked up at the stars and thought to yourself that one little star that's shining bright in the night sky, which is exhuming bright colors of rays' light-years across the galaxy at the speed of light could be life itself and not just an inhabitant planet made with cosmic materials emitting deadly radiation to destroy any life-form that is floating around space?

What if earth did not have an ozone layer to protect us from the deadly gamma rays emitted by the sun, which is also the only source that's keeping life on earth from extinction. Surely, the microscopic bacteria can survive for millions and millions of years regenerating and recreating life all over again adapting to new environmental conditions. Nature has the power to make or break sustaining life-forms and the universe can create or destroy nature with asteroids, solar flares, and exploding stars.

In the world where we are just a tiny little droplet of existing life which makes no significant impact on the universe, why are we fighting for power trying to dominate the world as if it all belongs to us? Why are we fighting over money and materialistic things when these are the mere cause for weaponry development in order for nations and communities to destroy each other for? Why do we fight each other when we have the power to reason?

The extinction of humanity will one day be neither due to mother nature nor the universe, but by us humans itself.
