RE: Sort of a complicated question, I'll try to ask. Why was I born me and not another?

Who else could you have been born as?I mean, I could have randomly been born someone else, out of another woman, or I could have been nothing. I really don't know why this question is so hard to just articulate, because the question makes perfect sense to me. We're just particles, there's nothing special about a human being. You guys keep saying that you couldn't have become something else because you came from your mom. I KNOW!!! But did you ever think how they became the people they did? They evolved, yes. I could have also been born a monkey. It's all just random arrangements of particles. Those particles are random, they randomly assemble because of some processes of the universe. I somehow became a human being, not a whale, not a monkey, not a dolphin, not a giant octopus, but a human being. And all that other matter that came from the star dust just became rocks and dust and whatever other living or non living stuff that exists on the planet. So I have to wonder, why do I exist in a conscious body that can observe it's own existence instead of being just a rock??? Like I really don't know how else to describe this, I feel like I'm just restating the same thing in a different way over and over again.
