About me:
So, I'm Grace. I ride horses and watch Steve McQueen movies.
"1349," was the first thing (Dad) said.
"The Black Death," I replied. I had a pretty good knowledge of history, but I had no idea what the Black Death had to do with coincidences. […]
"You have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents-- and so on. If you work it out, right back to 1349 -- there are quite a lot. Then came the plague. Death spread from neighborhood to neighborhood, and the children were hit worst. A lot of your ancestors were children at this time, but none of them kicked the bucket."
"How can you be so sure about that?"
"Because you're sitting here looking out over the Adriatic.
"The chances of a single ancestor of yours not dying while growing up is one in several billion. Because it isn't just about the Black Death, you know. Actually all of your ancestors have grown up and had children -- even during the worst natural disasters, even when the child mortality rate was enormous. Of course, a lot of them have suffered from illness, but they've always pulled through. In a way, you have been a millimeter from death billions of times, Hans Thomas. Your life on this planet has been threatened by insects, wild animals, meteorites, lightning, sickness, war, floods, fires, poisoning, and attempted murders. This happened billions of times through history. Each time an arrow rained through the air, your chances of being born have been reduced to the minimum.
“I am talking about one long chain of coincidences. In fact, that chain goes right back to the first living cell, which divided in two, and from there gave birth to everything growing and sprouting on this planet today. The chance of my chain not being broken at one time or another during three or four billion years is so little it is almost inconceivable. But I have pulled through, you know. Damned right, I have. In return, I appreciate how fantastically lucky I am to be able to experience this planet this planet together with you. I realize how lucky every single little crawling insect on this planet is."
"What about the unlucky ones?" I asked.
"They don't exist! They were never born. Life is one huge lottery where only the winning tickets are visible."
---The Solitaire Mystery, Jostein Gaarder
