If people could only glimpse the unimaginable depth of the great love they were born of and to which they'll swiftly return, Laurel, and they realized that their choice to be "here" was made from the zenith of their own intergalactic brilliance, and they understood how much more their lives have made possible for others who will follow, I do believe they'd cut themselves a bit more slack, smell more flowers, and hold more hands.
Thanks Mom,
The Universe
Actually, Laurel, people can glimpse this and many do smell more flowers and hold more hands... oh, we are so close.
