The fact that I am using my high tech device to entertain myself by replying to your comment that you made using your high tech device to entertain yourself means that we are both in the upper percentiles of luckiest humans to ever have lived.
I am sitting at my engineering job that I really like as I type this. I have a bachelors degree and two masters degrees. I have worked for this shit, and I have pushed through my chronic disease despite seeing images of the literal brain damage I have from it. I am STILL extremely fortunate to be where I am. Most humans who have ever been born literally had no path to get here regardless of their health or upbringing. And I’d guess that the same is true for a majority of today’s living humans.
And I do not mean those statements with a negative connotation. You should take some of that innate positive outlook you have for the world and develop a feeling of being grateful for your good fortune in life. It’s literally good for you.
To pretend that your situation is solely because of your positive attributes as an individual is pretty arrogant and not conducive to personal growth.
