Each one of us is a miracle!

Think about your best friends. There has never been anyone exactly like them either.

Now think about all the people in the world. Each one is unique, yet each one feels the same kinds of feelings of joy and sadness, anger and love as you do. They get hungry and tired and thirsty and hot and cold, just like you.

If your ancestors had made different choices, you could be someone else.

Each person in the world is a lot like you, but each one is also uniquely different.

When you think about the people you know as unique results of all that has happened over millions of years, you begin to understand how lucky we all are to be here on planet Earth, sharing the experience of life.
