If we lived to 200, no doubt many would be saying how sad it is that we average out to around 200 years. To me, that we have what we have against all odds is anything but sad.

"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 Arabia."
