Half of me is my daddy's semen, isn't it?
- Midori in Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
Congratulations! You are a winner!
Anyway, everyone on this earth is a winner!
As far as you were born,
No, as far as you were conceived,
You are a winner of a race of millions!
Some time ago down in your Mommy's tummy
Some hundreds of millions of racers
Sprang out from your Daddy and
Sprinted a short distance to the Ovum.
Only one (well, in rare cases, two)
Reached the goal.
Only one or two survived
While hundreds of millions died away
In this enormous race of destiny!
And you were the winner!
And your prize was this world.
Cherish it...

Well said, Peter.
That's one way to look at life and cherish it, after all, every individual is a survivor out of hundreds of millions!
Cheers
