The Importance of Individuals

When most people shift their thinking from philosophical discussions to everyday situations, they tend to forget the importance of individuals. As soon as your accident was known, a large-scale search for you would begin. No one would ask, is that fellow important? Without knowing anything about you except that you are a human being, helicopters, other aircraft, and searching parties on foot would begin looking for you. A person is a biological rarity. He is important in God's scheme of things. People do more for you when you make them feel important.
