Life is a fascinating mystery and a constant challenge. Yet, often, we are not content with merely experiencing life as it is.
He believes and what he believes comes into being
Very few people have ever found rest in what they are and what they do. They are always seeking what they do not have and trying to become what they are not.

A junk-dominated genome is the ideal place for evolution to randomly explore new functions and characteristics of the species.
