As am I, but if indeed it turns out that this happens to be one of the
multiverses in which life can develop, survive and evolve, boy am I ever

Thought exercise for you... Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and there
standing before you are 3 "yous" -- one from a better universe and two from
"worse" universes [1].
