Per time I surprise myself of existing. For a lot of people it is the existence the general rule. The death, the exception.
I think exactly the inverse: the most astonishing, almost incredible thing, is that am here and now, existing. It seems miracle even. Because, anything easier than me never to have existed.
Ask its parents as they met each other. The case pervade all the histories. No relentless need impelled one to know the other. We everybody seemed maybe children of the. As the children of the ones that met each other for a crossed line, a wrong phone call. Was not this country discovered by chance? If, in those days, the wind had blown in another
direction, today there would be other nations, in the mixture of another races. Others that not me, my parents, my grandparents.
Who knows, in the Medium Age, a hunter followed the direction in that the hunt flew. Because like this walking, he/she met Maria, and they got married, thanks to this today exist. Who knows, in the Roman Empire, for a triz the soldier didn''t kill the wounded. Because in the decisive instant of seeing it, the cloud hid the moon in the sky and the wounded in the ground - thanks to this today exist. Who knows, in the Prehistory, the wild animal esturrou and him and her they entered in the Cave. And because two entered and they left three - thanks to this today exist.
My life depended on the direction in that the wind blew on Atlantic in a day of 1500. It depended perhaps on the direction in that a bird flew in a day of the Medium Age. Perhaps it depended on a fraction of minutes in that a cloud empanou the sky or a wild animal esturrou in the earth. The existence arrived me almost impossible of arriving. It was a race of obstacles, through millions of years and trillion of acasos. If one of them failed, I would have remained in the limbo of the anything. No current is stronger than its weaker link.
The Biology tells me that, in the formation of mine to be, they competed 1 billion and 500 million of spermatozoon for they fecundate an ovum. Any another of them that arrived before would have generated other to be that not me.
University Calouros, after each
vestibular exam inflates the chest for they say that in the middle of thousands obtained first place I, in the vestibular exam of the existence, for an only vacancy, competed with 1,5 billion and I removed first place.
It pulls, that surprise, that miracle! People, are almost incredible but I exist. In the face of astonishment tamanha, the will is of thinking that that acasos sea will contribute nalguma Transcendência. And the surprise is transmuted in adoration.
