Why is my state of consciousness that of being a male born in 1990 rather than say a woman in china 4000 years ago or an alien in another part of the universe? For all I know I could have been a turtle but I'm not. I'm me!

Why?!

Does anybody else wonder this?

Does this make any sense?!

I think everyone wonders this sometime or another, usually early. The answer is really very simple: BECAUSE. I wish there were a better answer, but that appears to it.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
