A giant rocky body came from outer space and smashed into the Earth. Dinosaurs pretty much lost the throne after that. Men and women with science degrees are in agreement that this is the way it went down. Sure, there are people with and without science degrees who disagree, but they have the burden of proving all the others wrong.
A giant rocky body slamming into the Earth is a bona fide catastrophe. It’s life or death (heavy on the “death” part). It’s truly life-changing, Earth-shattering, mountain-moving. It’s a big deal. And it’s sort of inescapable. You need a lot of luck to survive something like that.
If you’re a dinosaur.
If you’re reading this, then you aren’t a dinosaur. Luck has little to do with getting through life’s challenges. Extinction-inducing, giant hunks of rock aren’t the obstacles that most of us face. I recognize that lfe throws some people the kinds of challenges that most of us are grateful to avoid, but we all have our own problems to deal with. In the vast majority of cases, we’re not facing life or death. We’re just dealing with inconveniences, delays, embarassments, setbacks…things that won’t kill us or anyone else for that matter.
Barring a giant rocky body from outer space smashing into the Earth, tomorrow will come. Chances are we’ll have the opportunity to try again. After all, we’re not dinosaurs, are we?
