Theory 3: What

THE first man on Earth has a lot on him. 
Suppose you really screwed up. Maybe it was a bad day. So bad that you wishes you didn't have to be born who you were, and you want someone to blame for a mistake that could only be yours. Trace it back to your mother, for giving birth to you, to her mother and her mother and her mother. Keep going back and eventually you will trace it back to the very first person on earth. Note the second person came about somehow later and is partly at fault too but it's the first one who started all this. 
Suppose you had a freaking good day. You made new friends and you impressed your peers and boss or whoever it is who pays you nuts for a few hours of your life a day. Suddenly it's all about you. Of course you could still trace it back to the very first man on earth through your mother and her mother and her mother and her mother. But you won't. Because YOU, yes YOU did something good. 
Anyway. 
We can blame the beginning for every single fallback and achievement we've faced. 
What do we want to do next?
