Head On

When I walked to the gym today I found this dragonfly. It was not in the best shape, its head was dented probably from the collision with a car and it was lifeless.

What had happened? Was it an accident, did this dragonfly not see the car? Or was it not aware of the car being so much bigger and having so much more mass that a collision with it would mean its certain death?

What is the difference between this insect and us thinking to be able to change anything in the world without changing ourselves?

To what else can this belief lead then a head on collision with what surrounds us?
