The topic of extraterrestrial life has always been an interesting one for me, if not one woefully bogged down by copious amounts of nonsense. I sometimes wonder about the possibility of life elsewhere -- I'm sure many of us do.

But today I just had a thought.

Today I considered that there is no other life out there.

Life had to begin somewhere. Perhaps there is no life to be found elsewhere simply because we are the first planet in all of the solar system, in this galaxy, in the universe, in all of existence to have life, ever.

Perhaps we are in fact, Living Planet #1.
