never to be squandered, the miracle of another human being  
Rita - Ya know, if you think how we're born and we go through all the struggle of growing up and learning the multiplication tables and the name for everything. The rules. How not to get run over. Braid your hair. Pig Latin. Just all the effort in getting a job. Probably something you don't even like doing for not enough money, like tending bar. And that's if you’re lucky. That's if you’re not born in Calcutta or the U.S. without money. Then there's your marriage, having your own kids. You know? And there going through the same struggle all over again only worse because somebody's trying to sell them crack in the first grade by now. And all this time you’re paying taxes, your hair starts to fallout. And you’re wearing six pairs of glasses which you can never find. And you can't recognize yourself in the mirror. And if you live long enough you finally get to watch everybody die. All your loved ones, your wife or your husband, your kids maybe. And you’re totally alone. And as a final reward for all this. You disappear. No one knows where.
