I haven't participated in this thread because I just don't care enough about it. However, I recently saw the movie "Meet Joe Black". It's about Death taking control of a young man's body because he is curious about life and wants to enjoy it a bit. His host, a very wealthy capitalist, asked him if people aren't dying and because Death is right here with him, and Death answered him the following manner.
This morning, when you brushed your teeth and shaved, did you just do those things or did you think about what you were going to do today? Most of us when we take a shower or do other morning stuff do think about about a lot of things. Death said that just multiply that by infinity and that's how an infinite being operates.
I would say that god cares about little jimmy wacking off because he cares about the great scheme of things at the same time as he cares about the littlest stuff.
In some sense, I can relate this to my concert. I played the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. The song itself was beautiful. People afterward told me I did a great job. However, I can tell you exactly what I did wrong in what places and how they could have been better. There were very little things that probably nobody noticed, but they were important to me. In the great scheme of things, I had to worry how I would fit in with the background orchestra as well as how I would project my sound so as not to get drowned out by the orchestra. I had to worry about dynamics. I had to worry about my breaks. I had to worry about keeping the piece classical (I'm more of a romantic player). But at the same time, I was worrying about how I could approach each note.
In short, it's probably not something we as humans can comprehend.
