... but irreplaceable 1 in 6 billion.
There may be others that can do my job ... but they don't;
others that can make my friends happy ... but they don't do it like me;
others that can put ham, pineapple and grilled cheese on toast,
or any of the many other things that that I can do ...
but this combination has never been, nor never will be, in another human been. This is me, world!

No I have never really looked at it that way. I live in a small town in New England and I rarely go to the city so I don't realize sometimes how many people there really are in this world. I like my small town life and I don't have to worry about the bigger picture everyday because it goes on without me and it will regardless. I pay attention to what is happening in my corner of the world and what I can do to make a difference to those around me. Don't get me wrong I am aware of happenings in the world but there really is not much I can do to change it so I make a difference where I live.

And yet despite only being 1 in 6 billion, you are greatly cherished by your Creator Jehovah God, the Father of the Universe of all Mankind. Why, as Jesus said, God has even ‘numbered the hairs of your head’! (Luke 12:7) Knowing the great value God places on those who love him, you need never feel worthless.
Your "blood is precious in his eyes". (Psalms 72:14)
One big reason so many youths feel worthless is the influence of the world we live in. In many societies youths are urged to excel in everything they do—in schoolwork, sports, hobbies. Success is often determined by who performs the best, who looks the best, who possesses the best.
The Bible urges us to do our best at whatever our “hand finds to do” but “not in comparison with the other person.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10; Galatians 6:4) Why not? For one thing, all of us have different abilities and cannot excel at everything. (Matthew 25:14, 15) Indeed, all of us are handicapped in one way or another because of imperfection. (Romans 3:23) Success in life thus requires learning to cope with failures and disappointments.
Besides, the desire to surpass others works against the very qualities that can bring you lasting feelings of self-worth, such as cooperativeness, considerateness, cheerfulness, peacefulness, and patience. The Bible wisely counsels: “Let us not become egotistical, stirring up competition with one another, envying one another.”—Galatians 5:22, 23, 26.
So as long as you are doing your best, be content with your achievements.
Only 'YOU' can be the Best 'You' there is, no one else can do it for you.
Keep your chin up dude, despite also being 1 in 6 billion you've been acknowledged by all those that just replied to your question.

Not when you realize you are a child of evolution.
Not when you realize you don't know what the next step in your existance when you die is. Will you meet some hughe universe god who will torture you for eternally cause he loves you as the bible states, or will you just crease to exist, go on tobeocme a part of the planet dust and thnma in eons later once become a part of the universe as all planets must dissolve eventually.

once removed from familial emotions, people eagerly grab on to mentors and providers, it doesn't happen till u need it, it is truly hard to take care of ones self, too much proximity and analysis can be overwhelming, depress not: those who can't teach lead, we push each other up, that is the greatness of man,C when u can do no more u will know that there will be more to do, with six million going your way it is hard to believe u r alone in your quest

Yeah, its not that hard. I mean, really, why does everything think it is such a big shock to realize you're a miniscule piece in a gigantic universe.
But its amazing, while we might not be any more important than everyone else, we're all different. There's something unique about everyone.

1 is better than 0.

And when the depression lifts like a fog... You will revel in the realization that you are... Truely 1 in 6 million.
That makes you as unique and as special as a snowflake.
Which is exactly why I love them like I do!
No one... no one else in this universe can occupy your space, can think like you do, feel like you do... do... whatever it is that you do, quite like you do it.
That makes you pretty damn cool!

You ARE one in 6 Billion! You are the one spermaticide that made the swim up and got to it's destination! If you think that's a small thing, you estimate yourself to lowly! Tell yourself to esteem others more highly than yourself, and others will esteem you more highly than you deserve (Confusious 739 B.C.)
