Emil Cioran said it best: "What's your rush? You can kill yourself any time you like. So calm down."
And think about it. What are the chances we're all here? The 1 in 400 trillion probability of being born -- it is far from correct and actually closer to 0. Every fucking thing SINCE the test of time had to go accordingly, exactly the way it did. Including every event that changed the dynamics of the world like slavery. Yes, slavery. Even if it was across the globe. Every event, every shift in the timeline not only affects the actions of individuals in their own time that propagates globally but also cascades down through subsequent generations, completely altering the circumstances that led to the meeting of your great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and ultimately your very existence. Every decision made, every chance encounter, and every historical event has contributed to the intricate chain of causality that culminates in the moment of your being. The tiniest altercation in the past, no matter how distant or seemingly inconsequential, could have led to an entirely different present, just as the smallest pebble creates ripples in the vast ocean. This doesn't even take into account that your dad had to bust in your mom at that exact time and moment. As well as every single one of your ancestors.
Even in the sperm race. The first to reach the egg is not the winner. The first to reach the egg opens the egg for the next (you) and the 300 million+ cells including the first one dies in the process. Never to be born and never to experience the beauties of life. Perhaps I'm not sending the right message here and you were the slow bastard that let everyone else do the hard work and took all the credit for yourself while the rest died in the process. But, the point is that the others sacrificed so that you can live. Cherish it no matter your circumstances and make the most of it. If not for yourself, for them.
Fruit for thought.
