lucky

a couple of years ago i was helping this dude with his work when the guy next to me said something in mandarin which i obviously cant remember which kind of meant "full of feeling". and obviously i gave him the huh face, and he said dont you feel lucky?
actually i wasnt feeling anything but since i hardly knew him i just said yes like a bottle of lucky stars.

you know that crap which says how lucky you are even to be human, because the odds of life in this universe are so low; how lucky you are to be born, because only 1 in that few billion sperm made it to form you, etc etc,

well, that crap is true

to add on, my friend said we are lucky to be born in this time, when we are able to go overseas on holidays, when our ancestors had to go overseas just to make a living.

we are lucky to be born in this time, in a time of relative peace and prosperity, with medical care and internet

above all, we are lucky to be healthy and simply able to wake up in the morning
