My favorite proverb of them all.
You are so right, we all know how fame and fortune often times destroys the rich, but seldom consider that even those of us living a normal life are in the top 5% of the wealthy and healthy in the world.
But for the grace of God, we could have been born in Haiti.
We tend to complain *It’s not fair* when bad things happen to us, but I never hear anyone complain that it’s not fair when good things happen to us.
Why I should have had the privilege of being born into this great country at this time in history when the huge vast majority of people will never experience half the privileges we have is beyond me.
It really isn’t fair that someone is born into such privilege and really, WE are the someone else that others say*It’s not fair that they get those breaks.*
It’s all a matter of perspective.
