The earth IS our mother, inasmuchas we all came from it. All the other philosophies and even the science are developments thereof. Possibly we could go with the flow of the OP's idea and project a feeling of acceptance and joy at the fact that we're even here to be aware of anything else.
And enjoy our inter-connectedness for what it is, an opportunity for understanding.
Before the asteroid comes I hope our distant offspring feel better about each other!
