I can’t say that I completely dislike myself, but as I’ve recorded in myH2Oh Profile, I find myself ever more frequently wondering whether I should be something more than I am. These moments then lead me to speculate that it is not what I’ve done, but who I am that is the problem. And, based on the statistical overview of those in my common gene pool, i.e., all of those individuals conceived from sperm A51326 and egg C84327, I am, in all five categories of comparison—total net worth, happiness index, number of children, square feet of living space, professional recognition—clearly well below average. Why this would be when we share 99.9 percent of the same biochemistry can only be attributed to non-biological factors. In other words, “nurture” issues, i.e., how we were raised, which has led to some slight differential in the various choices that each one of us has made over time, resulting in, ultimately, who we are now. What all of this means is that it is purely for reasons of chance that I am who I am today, as opposed to, someone else, i.e., one of my “code partners.”
