Answer:
The people whom I have asked the question “What is your responsibility to the Universe?” think it’s a silly question. They feel they have no responsibility whatsoever, and I would agree with them if they were an amoeba, or even a squirrel, but they are human beings, and capable of forethought and moral decisions. Because they have those powers there comes some responsibility to use them to some useful end, but for most people that means maximizing their personal well-being and personal pleasure. Those ideas are at the root of the ancient Greco-Roman Stoic ideal and the Epicurean ideal.
I presently know some people who are deeply into Pierre Teilhard de Chardin‘s basic idea, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” It would seem to me that those people would be particularly keen on the idea of fulfilling their responsibility to the Universe because they claim they are eternally a conscious part of it. They will be the ones to receive the most benefits if they can somehow improve the Universe.
Abrahamic religious people would also have a present universal responsibility to improve the Universe, because they too have an eternal soul. The consciousness of that soul and its present responsibility are concerned with this life, but an after-death responsibility with a new form of personality doesn’t seem to be a worry to them in their present life. Their current life’s responsibility is to please God by obeying the Laws presented in the Bible, as clarified by the Prophets and presented by the clergy. It would appear they believe that no further responsibility is expected of them.
