The odds of any of us existing have been calculated to be about 1 in 102,685,000.
That is a number that most of us can’t even begin to conceptualize without our heads starting to hurt a little bit. The chances that we get some time on this earth as a human being are infinitesimally small, yet somehow, we have all managed it. We get to experience something that might not seem so rare on the surface, but it truly is.
When we understand just how unlikely it is for us to have materialized in this specific way, it becomes easier to see it as a privilege. God knows life can seem like a curse sometimes, but it also offers boundless potential for joy and positivity if we know where to look. We only need the smallest taste of this to understand that this whole existence thing is pretty special.
As a result, it is important to look out for these small, positive moments as often as we can. When we start making it a daily goal, it comes more and more easily to us. Even if we are not inclined to have a sunny disposition normally, it is hard to argue with the reinforcement that comes from this. Wholesome memes make the process even simpler, giving us an instant injection of happiness no matter what may be going on in our lives otherwise. That is a proposition that is hard to argue with, and it doesn’t come with a downside.
