You have SURVIVED the collision of stars.
You have SURVIVED the complex combination of fission and fusion.
You have SURVIVED the odds of trillions of possibilities and accidental technicalities that produced life in a world with inhospitable creatures.
You have SURVIVED an attack of billions of microbes feasting on your skin, exposed from the moment you took your first breath.
You have SURVIVED war, genocide, slavery, famine, plague, and natural disaster.
You have SURVIVED racism and stereotypes.
You have SURVIVED trigger happy police and "concerned" citizens, while walking the streets in your neighborhood with a hood.
You have SURVIVED failed economic policies.
You have SURVIVED the destruction of your culture.
You have SURVIVED and beat the odds.
You have SURVIVED it all.
You have SURVIVED everything that has tried to kill you.
You have SURVIVED everything negative the universe has to give...
SO WHY CAN'T YOU LIVE???
