It boggles my mind. There are almost nine billion people on the earth. I am one of them. And there are two ways to look at this. First off you can say that you are only 1 in nine billion. Just another person adrift in a very big ocean of people - insignificant, a mote on the eyelash of a fly. Yet, you can look at the other way - I am unique, nobody is me, I am the only one. Seems like an accomplishment when there are nine billion you can compare to.
