How good you are in this world! Although, in reality, it is a rather unlikely event. Two people met and had sex coinciding with the brief monthly period of female fertility. The sperm you came from was faster than the other millions of others. God grabbed you by the neck and expelled you from Paradise. In return, you are now able to tell right from wrong; despite the atrocity of having eaten the apple from the tree of knowledge, you are made "in the image and likeness" of God. From the point of view of reincarnation from the Far East, all the more reason to rejoice: Buddha emphasized that it is extremely unlikely to be reborn as a human being. So in your last life you must have been great, otherwise you would now be taking your place in a dwarf cage with other laying hens or you would be one of the protagonists of the Earthlings documentary . However, you are right here, reading this book in one of the richest countries on the planet, and you may have a good profession in this prosperous world, one where you earn a more or less good living thanks to your creativity.
