Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Here are the facts:

1) Your mother is born with 800,000 eggs. She doesn't produce any more during her life time.

2) Your father can release up to 500 MILLION (that is not a typo) sperm during an orgasm.

3) Of those sperm, only a few are able to make it far enough to even have a chance at fertilization.

4) Of those few sperm, only ONE fertilizes an egg.

5) If any other sperm reached the egg first, you wouldn't be alive.

According to http://members.shaw.ca/tfrisen/chances_of_you_existing.htm

If you go back 1 million years or 40 000 generations (each generation is considered 25 years), your chance of being born is at most 1 in 1.8 x 10403167 or 18 with 403,166 zeros after the 1.

Yeah... that's a really small number. REALLYREALLYREALLY small. So, just the fact that you exist makes you special. You will ALWAYS be special.
