There was a question that Albert Einstein referred to as the Great Question: Is the universe in all the sum of its forces, ultimately malevolent or benevolent? On that hangs everything.
As Christians, we believe that the universe is ultimately benevolent, and that God is shaping it into a benevolent kingdom. In light of that answer to Einstein's Great Question, so many other things don't matter.
When you die, the question that God is going to ask you is simply: "Were you ultimately kind or unkind toward life, toward my creation, toward flowers, toward people?
Ultimately, did you make the earth a kind or unkind place."
Because ultimately the whole purpose of creation is not to produce something ...it's just "that they may have life."
