00:00Do you know how precious life is?

00:03There's been about 100 billion people who have ever lived.

00:06Wow, really?

00:06Yes.

00:07And there's only 8 billion now.

00:08No, about 100 billion if you add it up over all time.

00:11Do you know how many people can exist?

00:12You take a look at the genes,

00:14find out how many combinations of genes can make an authentic human being.

00:17And you do that.

00:18You can do the math on this.

00:19And it is stupendously larger number than the 100 billion.

00:23What it means is you are alive against stupendous odds.

00:28You are breathing air, observing sunsets, gazing into the night sky.

00:32Most people who could exist will never experience that.

00:37Most people who could exist will never even be born.

00:41And you're going to complain about the life you have?

00:44It's the gift.

00:44Most people that could exist, mathematically, will never exist.

00:49You are as special a living entity as there ever was.

00:53Amen.
