Hmmm, interesting thoughts, Dread.
On the one hand, I was one of those people who were not blessed to be born in the 1st world, nor in a peaceful world really, so in that sense, I guess I started out in the hole and had to work my way up. Then again, I made it out, while most people did not, and this is where it gets fuzzy. Do you give thanks entirely to a higher power or is it reasonable to state that some people simply may be more determined and better at survival and self-sufficiency than others. However, why is that so? Have I been blessed with determination and some above average abilities? Yes, I would say so. Am I worthy of it? I don't believe I've squandered any of my blessings, so I would say yes.
Nice thread.
