Winning the lottery of life, being born in Australia after world war 2 where everyone born is in the global top 1%.
- MegaDeKay 7y agoLottery of life indeed. I have been to many places in this world, and have seen many things that make me thankful I was born in a place where there is the opportunity to have a good and comfortable life if I make the effort to make it happen. A lot of people in a lot of places have been dealt such a shitty hand that their opportunities for a life similar to mine are near zero, no matter what they do in life.
