Another shot at self-importance definition -
Is my life more important than:
a cockroach
an ant
a spider
a mosquito
I can kill all of them, and do, frequently. I think of the Buddhist admonition to "see the blood", and I believe I do. No life form is unimportant.
Each is a marvel unto itself. Am I greater than they? Really?
