What if I Fail?
Do you think that our line of ancestors goes all the way back to the first lifeform on the planet? I mean, where else would it lead if you traced it back, right? Unless life might have come from two different places (or more), I think it's a safe bet that whatever primitive single cell organism started it all is like my great grandmother or something. Then I started thinking about how all the life before me has been pretty successful as far as the basic goals of living things. Live, reproduce, die. Well, maybe dying is so successful, but it's inevitable. So anyways, what if I never reproduce? That would sorta mean that I'm the first failure in the billion year history of my ancestory. Great. No pressure, right? I suppose I could just go knock up some slut and claim success.
