Who doesn't want to be happy in life? Everyone wants to live happily until they live but imagine one day a catastrophe strikes. To be specific, an earthquake. Imagine surviving a major and devastating catastrophe along with a handful of people? 

The real question starts here. Once you survive, you start to think over the matter and you question yourself about your purpose? People, who survive also ask themselves "Why did I survive it? Is there a big role for me to play in the world?" You completely change as a person, never as before. You start valuing your life more than others. You start to think you are one in a million!  

You and a handful of people who survive start to find purpose in life. You are a completely different person you were before the catastrophe! Not only you, but people also start valuing your life and give importance to you. You then get eager to find ambition in the world and you also seek divine reasons for your existence. You now are focusing on yourself more than others.

The more time flies, the more you start questioning yourself to find your true ambition of living. Now all you can do is go into deep thoughts and find the meaning of your life. It all depends on how you live but now all you can do is contemplate. Everything does matter in life. Your existence and you become the true meaning of your survival. The question now finally starts to get an answer. You become the most determined person in the world and now you are more focused on reality.

You now know that you are one in a billion.  You have found the reason for your existence. Now you start thinking, ‘Life is Beautiful.’
