"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place. But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA . So massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds. How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state . From which the vast majority have never stirred?"💫 I love this poem so much which is the ending of Nightwish's song "The Greatest Show on Earth". It's just so important to remember how blessed we are. We've all been given this precious gift called life. Please remember this. You have been chosen to live. Time to live and not only exist. 🌎🌌🌙 . . . #wearetheluckyones#gratitude#borntolive#createyourdreamlife#createalifeyoulove#livedontexist#nightwish#poem#truth#wordsofwisdom#wisewords#reminder#meditation#begrateful#quote#instaquote#truesaying#yourownmagic#youarewhole#magical#dontfeardeath#privilege#wearetheliving#self#selflove#meditation#thislifeismagic#thinkaboutit (hier: Planet Earth)
