Default Ever think how lucky you are?

I was thinking about how there are billions of people on earth. how the hell did i end up so well off. I mean if you are reading this you are most likly a lot luckyer than you think. i mean look at all of africa or china or other third world or underdeveloped countrys. i mean i live here in so. cal. and have a great time with life and eating as much food as i want, while other kids are dieing of starvation in africa. while others are trying to survive by fishing and farming while im playing BF2 and have a nice cold soda next to me. or even people who are born with disabilitys and are limited the rest of their life while i have no defects and am perfectly health. but i guess this is how the world goes, i guess im just lucky.
what do you guys think about this subject?

View my point about being born 40 kilometers too South of Spain... It explains it all.

No, what I mean is : I heard that sentence : I had the mischance to actually having been born 40 kilometers souther than Gibraltar. Someone up there can live a decent life without missing anything, while here, its hell.

Im not born in Morroco, Im a quebecquer made of MicMac and French blood.

Yea we are a lot more lucky than people who have to survive each day in a 3rd world country. I feel kind of sorry for them, but then I realize that God put us here for a reason.


Thanks to killtodeath for the sig

You sir, are very right. And no doubt it would do me much good if I keep what you have said in mind!

This is my indictment of your beliefs
This is my indictment of what you hold dear

My eyes have seen the horrors that you
Commit in the name of your god
Your god is violence your god is unholy

Default Re: Ever think how lucky you are?

Of course I think about it. Seriously, once I was watching some video, I think it was Iraq, and the first thing I thought was "Holy Shit, I'm glad I don't have to live in Baghdad, living in a crumbling Neighborhood, with the constant threat of insurgent bombs around me." I'm glad I don't live in Iraq, or any other country like that . .

I usually don't think about 3rd would countries though. My grandparents may be insane, but they weren't insane enough to move from Italy to Ethiopia.

I think about this more: The path I'm on. One single though could have changed me to a God-Fearing Evangelist, instead of a Satan-obssessed . . something.

Default Re: Ever think how lucky you are?

I consider myself lucky. I also consider the fact that if everyone else was too, it wouldn’t be called lucky. It would be something else entirely.

Better 'you' then I, right. Many people have it, few admit to it.
You can never appreciate anything with out the ying yang effect of it all.
