-
I think that everyone's life is controlled by a series of events. They choose what they want and if it is in their control they can reach it. Sometimes luck shines on them and sometimes it doesn't.

They have existed for half a billion years, surviving or reevolving through several mass extinction events. They make their home in nearly every habitat on earth. While thirty-five thousand living terrestrial snail species have been documented, tens of thousands are not yet identified.

The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising.

Our past absolutely defines everything we do in the present. We can't help it. We're made by the events of our past, so there's no escaping it.
