It might even be something as unlikely as not bleeding out in some trap somewhere, not dying horribly at the hands of something beyond us, and actually finding a cure for ourselves. But personally, I'm not afraid of the fact it's uncertain. I'd rather have uncertainty than guarantees. Especially when it comes to sprouting tentacles.
