why I'm the child of my parent not the others? Is it really just random?
There's a related thought that I often have:
There are so many genetic combinations that if any event in all of human history had happened differently, you would not exist. Maybe some other person would have been born to your parents at the same time as you, and they might even have the same name, but they would be as different from you as a sibling is.

sounds like won the lottery ticket! then you met your partner, then the kid is born, then he /she met the one, and creates another kid...
and then each of our actions inspires or affects others, it's so crazy to even think about it - that's why it's nice try to have a positive impact on others, as you really don't know what something small you do might lead to. 🤯
and what do you think is the meaning of life?
I feel the whole human experience is like a database in a sense, human as a whole keep exploring what's possible in this realm, some managed to see and document their travels, which led to much learning and new discoveries; some discovered great medicine or composed amazing music, then all of these cool people paved the path and show what's possible for the late borns; so for me, the meaning of life is mostly learning, exploring, and passing down the knowledge, so others can do better with your experience, and of course to have fun in between.

That's as good as any other answer I've heard.
