Humans have always projected (in the psychological sense) their personalities onto the Universe, I guess. Trying to scale our humanity up to the great vastness.

I'm no different. I have my ideas about the way things work, based on my perspective here on Earth.

And, I'm just as wrong as everybody else. The Universe, seen as a separate thing from myself, is apathetic as regards me. My thinking it is safe, or someone else thinking it isn't, has nothing to do with the Universe and everything to do with my own set of beliefs and thoughts, too much of which have their origin in sensory experiences.

I am "a fluke of the Universe" with no right to existence - the Universe is indifferent to my existence, and, if I may anthropomorphize one step further, unaware of and uncaring of my little speck of fleshy ego here on Earth.

Any action I attribute to the Universe is on me. My thinking, my beliefs, my interpretation of Natural phenomena.

Of course, on some deep level (one that is perfectly still, not rocked by thought), duality is neither an issue nor a reality.

Meanwhile, my perception of a safe Universe is just that: A perception. I can argue for it logically, but it is just my perception.
