“Yes, you not only are an unlikely collection of atoms, you are remarkable. Now, the question is, do you treat yourself like the special entity that you are? Do you actually live your life as though you are special — possibly the most special matter in the universe? Do you fuel your free will with knowledge and wisdom — by reading, by thinking, by asking questions, by thoughtfully processing the answers, by observing, by experiencing life? Or does your free will lead you in the direction of unpleasant business and personal relationships, exhausting and fruitless confrontations, dishonesty, alcohol, drugs, and other self-destructive behaviors?”
