The most beautiful thing in the world is undoubtedly life, but have you ever wondered about all that had to happen just for you to be born?
The most beautiful thing in the world is undoubtedly life
Maybe we have the habit and the only thought that to be born we only need a father and a mother, just like any school story.
Have you ever wondered about your ancestors? Take a moment and think… Who were they? Where did they come from? How many fights did they fight? How hungry were they? How many wars did they live through? How many vicissitudes did our ancestors survive? On the other hand, how much love, strength, joys and encouragement did they leave us? How much of their strength to survive, each one of them had and left within us so that we are alive today.
Surely you have not asked yourself any of this?
Maybe after reading this you’ll say: “wow!” or maybe you won’t be so impressed because maybe you already knew about it. But to be born is a whole journey, father, grandfather, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, etc…
Do you know how many people we need just to be born ourselves? Well I’ll tell you, to be born we need: two (2) parents, four (4) grandparents, eight (8) great-grandparents, sixteen (16) great-great-grandparents, thirty-two (32) quad-grandparents, sixty-four (64) pent-grandparents, one hundred twenty-eight (128) hex-grandparents, two hundred and fifty-six (256) heptagrandparents, five hundred and twelve (512) octagrandparents, one thousand and twenty-four (1024) enea grandparents, two thousand and forty-eight (2048) decavos and only the total of the last 11 generations took 4.
094 ancestors is impressive, isn’t it?
Just to be born we need all of them.
