Do you matter?

Yes. Without me, my children would be doomed to be raised (i use that term loosely) but their deadbeat dad..... or left with his incompetent and criminal family members. So, I matter when it comes to them. Beyond that, it depends on who you ask!

In the grand scheme of things I matter about as much as a May Fly. To myself and those who love me i matter somewhat more.

As the first poster said rightly. Even Jaer also. We matter to the ones we are with in our own circle of friends. Therefore of course I matter and so do you. But even if you are alone. You still matter to God. We all do.

I matter to myself, and maybe a couple other human relatives and friends. Other than that, I'm like a grain of sand in the ocean of life.

I matter to the people who love me and I'm just ducky with that.

To the world, I'm one insignificant person out of what 6.5 billion now.. so no on that scale I don't matter at all.

In the short term? Yes.
In the long term? No -- heat death is inevitable for the universe, and nothing prior will matter then.
