I don't understand why that thought would be any more important to you than:
- If your mom had wanted only one kid, or none, you wouldn't be here either.
- If a different sperm had happened to get to the egg first, someone else would have been born instead of you.
- However you got here, you're here now and it's a limited-time offer.
(When I don't like some direction that my thoughts happen to be running in, I just let them run and sure enough, in a minute or two they'll be running in an entirely different direction. It's when I'm seriously trying
not to think of something that I get into difficulty.)
