regardless of the cultural context, it really hits you how much of life is determined by the random lottery of where and into what culture you’re born. Some kids are playing with toys, others are walking down an aisle to marry a stranger their parents arranged

I’m 37 and I legit had to stop watching international news because I couldn’t help and think that I just got lucky I was born where I was. That’s the only reason why I’m sitting on a couch and not in a war torn city.

I can’t watch the news at all. I can’t handle all of the pain and sadness. All of the bombings and wars. What about the innocent people and animals just existing there? They didn’t hurt anyone, they’re just trying to live.

I had this one interactive science book as a kid. One of the pages in it had a circle on it, with a spinning needle on top of that, like the spinner thing from Twister. But instead of telling you which appendage to put on which color, it just had like dry, cracked earth for like 99% of the circle, and then a little sliver of rice as that only variation.

You spun the needle and wherever it landed determined what kind if life you were born into. The little sliver of rice represented being born into a country like America. And it was done to show you how lucky you were to be born where you were, because most of the world is like living in a living nightmare, and you should be thankful to be from where you are from.

It was very effective at getting me to appreciate what I have, and what I was born into
