The chances of you being you, alive and living right now, right here are quite low, very low, very, very low to be exact. The probability of you being born at the time you were born to your particular parents, with your particular genetic make-up is very close to impossible.
The odds of your parents meeting, then talking to each other, meeting again and forming a long term relationship, of having kids together, and of the right egg and the right sperm combining at the right time to make YOU. You can go even further back to look at the probability of all your ancestors successfully mating, and of all the right sperm meeting all the right eggs to make each one of those ancestors at the right time.
The conclusion: “The odds that you exist at all are basically zero.”
Buddhists have talked of the preciousness of this incarnation.
The Buddhist analogy is as follows:
“Imagine there was one life preserver thrown somewhere in some ocean and there is exactly one turtle in all of these oceans, swimming underwater somewhere. The probability that you came about and exist today is the same as that turtle sticking its head out of the water—in the middle of that life preserver. On one try.”
Some scientist with too much time on his hands actually set down and calculated that likelihood.
He looked at the amount of water in the oceans, compared to the size of a life-preserver. He concluded that the chances of a turtle sticking its head out in the middle of the life preserver was about 1:700,000,000,000,000, that is one in 700 trillion! Pretty close to zero I say ;-).
So, you being you and here right now reading these lines is pretty much a miracle.
A miracle is an event so unlikely as to be almost impossible. By that definition, you are a miracle. Now go forth and feel and act like the miracle that you are. Don’t think of you any less.
We care, we listen, we get results.
