The odds of the universe forming and your parents meeting to create you are basically zero.

So why are you here?

"What are you doing here?" is a better question. Talking about how one seizes the opportunities that life offers can then ensue

"Why are you here?" is a matter of human biology a.k.a. the birds and the bees.

Squabbling among ourselves is perfectly acceptable. I am only "leader" in so far as I am the most squabblesome of us all.

Is that classified as gang warfare?

Because they weren't completely zero, of course.

Plus, that was then, and this is now. What are the odds that I'm here now? 100%.

I suppose so. Or we could call it fratrisquabble. Or maybe autophagia.

Low odds or low frequency is counter acted by high time.

I.e. the chance of something happening once in a million years is quite unlikely. But if the time available time is a billion years, then that is a thousand chances of the event occurring just once in that period.

The one thing is that nobody would have forecast my existence as near as the generation of my Granparents (been born in Ausgbursg, Ulm, Jena and Schwaigern)...

The other thing is what is is, and can't be neglected how improbable it was in the first hand.

What are the odds two people would meet and come together and have a baby. Do you start after that point and develop into who you are now.
