The odds of becoming a human being

  • I try to be grateful that I’m alive. And healthy.
  • The odds of becoming a human being is 400 trillion to 1.
  • Your father could’ve come 0.1 seconds early and it wouldn’t be you.
  • You could’ve had all sorts of genetic or developmental problems and your mother would have a miscarriage.
  • Your mum could’ve had problems giving birth to you leaving you with permanent brain damage.
  • You could be a snail or a caterpillar and an innocent kid would step on you for fun.
  • Or you could be this helpless nestling dying of natural selection.

So do stuff that matters. Do stuff that matters to you.
