If there was a point of no return we've clearly pasted it.....so let's keep going and see what happens!

Idk why you're so persistent. Your answer isn't a satisfactory answer. It's just "where did I come from" and you're like "you came from your mom." I mean really????????
This has got to be a troll.

On the subject of fortune cookies...there comes a point when you get the same fortune cookie again. Just like this isn't the first time this discussion has been had, on these boards. When that happens, you start to realize that the things we stuff into fortune cookies are deepities rather than revelations...and so to, is this line of questioning.
Once upon a time at a Chinese restaurant, I opened a fortune cookie and there was no fortune inside. My dad leaned over and said, "How unfortunate!"
I frowned...then burst into laughter. True story =)
I've since learned to write my own fortune. 
A very pessimistic friend of mine we nicknamed the "Angel of Death" opened a fortune cookie and it said: "You will inherit a great fortune". He said "Oh great, someone I love is going to die!"

Hah! But even if it was from the lottery, massive piles of sudden money tend to be bad fortune for the recipient.

I play the long game, Whatevs, lol. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not me. Massive piles of sudden money would be good for me. I might look like Keith Richards within 6 months of winning a fortune but that is purely cosmetic! Vitamin $100 dollar bills.

This question would have somewhat made more sense if you had asked how you were born you instead of someone else, rather than you as opposed to a dog.

And to add to the question, I want to know why I was born at all, and my molecules aren't just a rock on the beach or something.
