Just think for a second. In order to be born, you needed: 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 second great-grandparents, 32 third great-grandparents, 64 fourth great-grandparents, 128 fifth great-grandparents, 256 sixth great-grandparents, 512 seventh great-grandparents, 1024 eighth great-grandparents, and 2048 ninth great-grandparents. For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4096 ancestors over the last 400 years. Think for a moment - how many struggles, battles and difficulties did they have to endure? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? Your ancestors had to undergo so much suffering for you to exist in this present moment, and you want to be a narcissistic imbecile
