    By remembering and being fully aware of who you are in this world … by being grateful for the good fortune you had by being born in the situation and family you have now.

    You could have been born in an African village and lived for a year before dying of something. You could have been born in the slums of Mumbai. You could have been born in Gaza. You could also remove the time constraint and you could have been born a peasant in medieval Europe.

    Out of all the billions of human lives that have existed so far, there are many that were born during this time but only a small percentage of them were lucky enough to be born in a family with wealth and privilege enough to enjoy the modern technologies we’ve created so far.

    I am lucky, you are lucky and anyone who is able to read this is lucky to have been born at this time to enjoy this online chat.

    Remember where you are in this world and this time. As unhappy as you think you might be, there are millions of people that wish they could have the life you have now.

    Be happy because you are a winner of the cosmic lottery of existence.
