Human lives

Congratulations

... You've made it this far in your life without utterly killing yourself in the most horrific way possible. Either intended or unintentionally, I'm proud of you.

But here's the thing, humans are funny creatures. We race cars just for the adrenaline of it, we film ourselves having sex to arouse others and we spend all of our lives leading up to the big "BANG" you're dead. But here's the thing, I think life on Earth is stupid, yeah you heard me, stupid. We are born, and we don't even get to pick our own names, our parents could be utter morons and name is the most stupid name known to man. For example, I know a girl, and her name is Nugget, yes, that's actually her name on her birth certificate.

Anyway, we grow up, with our parents ideas and views punched into our brains and we go to school, for however long you last, and you are graded on your performance. What if I'm not good that this kind of science, and that kid is? Don't grade me on how little I know about the powerhouse of the cell, and grade me on my effort to learn, not on what I learn.

So after school we kind of wander around for a bit, working our job, maybe if we're lucky finding significant other in the process and marrying them, just to have little rugrats that do nothing but complain for 18 years. Great.

So there you have it, our basic human lives, seems kinda basic doesn't it? But here's the catch, you can change your fate. None of that Brave, Merida bullshit, but actually make a difference. You could be the first man to bio engineer a working human arm off of the body, or be the first woman on Mars, don't limit yourself just because you think you can't do it, push yourself because you don't KNOW if you can do it, but you're willing to try.

So yeah, congrats on being alive little guy, I believe in you.
