It's lucky that I wasn't born as an aboriginee. Babe Ruth didn't have to compete against black players or get drug tested, ad nauseum. The whole "you make your own luck" is as wishful thinking as any other hokey religion.
- balabaster 11y agoIt's lucky that you were born with such a sense of knowing your place in the world and not striving to be more than society lets you be... It must be a great source of comfort. There are many many examples of people who have done what society said couldn't be done because of who they are, what race they are, what sex they are, what circumstances they are shackled by... by many accounts the honey bee shouldn't be able to fly. Imagine where you could be if you said "Fuck that, I'll define my own destiny thanks."

Is society better off because of a person who stood up for his or her beliefs and paid a price for that? I'd say yes. Is that person better off for it? Debatable.
