A purely systematic thought (all thoughts of destiny aside):

Every person on earth is a miracle of chance, if you take into account the chances of their parents meeting and the person living their childhood a certain way and turning into a certain person, and compound those chances for every generation of ancestors. Then multiply THAT by the planet's population.

Every (generally healthy) person is made of trillions of cells, which for the most part act as a well oiled biological machine and make up one of the most astonishing and inspiring feats of engineering on the planet, at the very least. And every second, each person is host to a barely controlled furnace in each of these cells that powers its life, reproduction, and eventual death.

Relative to the center of, say, our galaxy, I actually have no idea how fast we move. But it's really fast. And even faster relative to the universe, etc. But we have no idea, for the most part. That's pretty cool, right?

So yeah, I was thinking about all that, and my contacts lined up perfectly on my eyes so the trees and skyline was in perfect focus, and I almost floated all the way home.

wow
thats some really deep thinking there. yeah a missile would be cool to have in your basement lol ;)

I think of it more as there were a lot of different possibilities and one of them got through. Instead of an amazing coincidence, we just have one result out of infinite others.
