Now that I have answered the question in a physical way, let me delve into maybe the more philosophical / subjective take on it.
We indeed to live in a sort of crosspoint of time and space. We happen to live on a very habitable planet with endless oceans and breathable air. Life in all forms is abundant. What are the odds that we were born here, and not in one of the many, MANY inhospitable places in the universe? We live in a very, and I mean very, small part of a very large universe, and it’s the only place we can call home.
And at the same time, we are living in an age of technological innovation and scientific discovery. Medicine is more accessible than it was even just 50 years ago, an incredibly short time scale in the eyes of the universe. Wireless networks span the Earth, allowing communication between peoples from across the planet. GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, etc. give us incredibly precise location tracking, supercomputers are in the pockets of so many people, software development has come very far from the days of punch cards, knowledge has never been more widespread (see libraries, the Internet…). We know so much more about the universe, the planet we live on, its geography, the inner workings of life, etc.! We truly are living in the golden age of humanity.
We live in a very precise crosspoint of spacetime, existing in a small blue marble within the vast void of space, living in a time of prosperity and discovery. I believe that we should cherish the brief window of time we call now and the small little part of space we call home.

I’m not sure why people are downvoting your post, it seems like a generally good question, but perhaps worded a little confusingly.
