A man who strives after goodness in all his acts, is sure to come to ruin , since there re so many men who are not good.
Niccolo Macchiavelli, 1469-1529, Political philosopher and diplomat

I don’t think there is much point in bemoaning the state of the world unless there’s some way you can think of to improve it. Otherwise, don’t bother weiting a book; go and find a tropical island & lie in the sun.
PETER SINGER - 1946 , Moral philosopher

On the other hand, each little life is a small cosmos on itself, a litlle world.
That little worls is our oyster. Where our small acts of kindneas do make a difference.

“The wonderful life theory”: a social-behaviour variation on the Butterfly Effect. I.e. the flap of a butterfly’s wings in one part of the globe can be the determinjng cause of a hurricane in the other side of the globe. A small event can generate big changes.

DAVID HUME (1711-1776) - British empiricist, philosopher

The Life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.

It implies that our individual lives are so puny against the backdrop of the huge cosmos, as to be utterly meaningless. Not worth more than the oyster.
But perhaps, there is another way of looking at it.
