Those attributes of a Scheme of things that determine its durability and success are its scope, the opportunity it offers for participation and contribution, and the conviction with which it is held as self-evidently true.
As a scheme of things is modified by inroads from outlying existence, it loses authority, is less able to banish dread; its adherents fall away.

So then it's all about how we embrace the here and now -- in the grand scheme we probably don't matter, but in the small scheme we are ultra-important.
We say things like "I feel drawn to the One who is above all" or "we are called to serve" or "church is a good place for me to be".

 The meaning of life
That we're all as insignificant as grains of dust in the grand cosmic scheme of things, all created randomly, leading random lives, and that our existence, or lack of, doesn't affect anything.
At first it seemed as though each person's meaning was their own personal thing and finding contentment was what brought meaning to peoples' lives.
So different people may indeed have an idea of what things to do that make them aware they're alive, but if the things they do don't succeed in this regard, then they may feel their lives lack meaning.

In the grand scheme of things, if a person's facing a whole range of problems, is public surveillance going to rank right up there?
In the relatively narrow fields of privacy rights and data protection (not to mention "in the grand scheme of things"), the use of surveillance cameras in public places isn't considered very important or "a serious risk." But it isn't just the cowardly ACLU that feels this way.
