    Actually, I read that in one of the books in CS Lewis's Space Trilogy---Perelandra....

    In a similar vein:..."Of his instruments, you were the chief, but the responsibility does not rest on your shoulders."

    I read most of his books about 40 years ago.  Wonderful phraseology.

    It is all part of the checking out process.  You let go of the world and the world lets go of you.
    Then it is over.

    I kinda have the opposite experience.  

    When I was younger, that is when I really felt insignificant.  I didn't have a good sense of any self worth and felt pretty powerless in the world around me.

    Age and life experiences has changed a lot of my thinking.  I know I am significant to those I love and love me back.  I can make choices that may even make a small difference in someone's life.  That is significant enough for me.
