I have triplet data points… but that isn’t the crux of this matter. Each sibling doesn’t have the same upbringing or even the same “parents” aside from the physical
Have thought about this my whole life!!!!! Sooooo many times!
How I happened to be me and land where I landed..... I remember being probably six years old laying on my back on fresh grass looking at clouds in the sky and wondering why me?” “Why am I here and not somewhere else?” “ Why am I me and not someone else”
I could just as easily be in Bangladesh, under very different circumstances
That little short story, “the egg” speaks a lot to this as well
Nah. Two brothers with very similar upbringings can be wildly different adults.
