Everything is based on luck. 99.9% of humans in history were born into what the average American today would consider extreme, abject poverty. I did not choose to be born into a family of upper-middle class American academics. I did not choose to be born on time with excellent health any more than my uncle's fetus chose to be exposed to lead paint, get born 3 months early, and become severely developmentally disabled for the rest of his life. Even if spmeone came from literal rags and made literal riches, they still benefited from a civil society, rule of law, access to education, and so on. I am fully convinced that the only healthy and ethical approach to live is to be grateful for everything you have, and empathetic for others whose needs are unmet.
