Two people walking on a beach come across thousands of dying starfish tossed onto the sand by the surf. One starts putting them back into the ocean. The other says, "Why bother? There's too many." The one says, "It matters to this one." It matters to each one who wakes up, and may have a surprising effect on the whole. To change species level consciousness apparently only requires a critical mass. Then there is resonance and perhaps a quantum leap. And something else could happen. It is a mysterious Universe.

I think that's a wonderful sentiment.
My calculator doesn't.
But I'll only give up hope on my death bed I suppose.
