Yes, you are lucky. But also: you should feel guilty about it.
Same with random things happening in your life and turning out well. If you don't know why they happened then who says you will be lucky the next time? Better feel a little guilty and try to understand how you can turn the odds your way (and perhaps also so others can benefit).
- switchbak 1y agoWhy is the guilt necessary?
- amelius 1y agoThe guilt is a reminder of the cognitive debt.
- switchbak 1y agoI wouldn't feel guilty about acing a multiple choice test. I don't feel guilty about being born in a prosperous country. I don't feel guilty about being born a human, nor of being born in a time of relative peace. I feel grateful for these things, but no - I don't feel guilt, and I don't think I "should".
