Chance, Probability, and Luck. Why You Should Not Exist.

Yes, about 15 minutes into starting the blog, my first post is already being typed. The whole reason this blog exists, is because I thought to myself, "I wanna write about luck and chance, but where?" And a blog is born! Now what was the chance, of me thinking of that idea, and making it reality? First, I had to get my parent's ok to make the blog, so about a 50% chance. Now the idea? Out of all the ideas ever possible, that makes the chance of this blog existing much lower. Now my birth. We have to go back, way back, to 13.8 billion years ago. The universe was formed. And though the billions of years, somehow, one planet was lucky enough to have simple organisms, a very low chance, considering all the conditions(distance to closest star, water, atmosphere). Then, life had to, by chance, evolve into a species known as Homo Sapiens, so even lower chance. Then, every event ever in human history decided who was born, when, and how. Even the death of a bug or someone getting a cold, it most likely changed a part of history in the future. So somehow, I came to exist, and then I randomly thought of the idea for this post and blog, and then I did it. So the fact that this planet supports basic life, is just astonishing(considering the likelihood). But your and my existence? Almost impossible. But yet, it is true, you exist, I exist, a bunch of almost impossible things exist. So be happy that you exist, and feel grateful for every good thing, and realize that every bad, or good thing that ever happened to you, is lucky, bad or good luck, that you can decide. So what will the next topic be? And when? Only chance will decide!
