Sometimes you are just lucky you don't get the flu or you weren't born in a country where girls cover their heads and brains. Sometimes you are just lucky the milk in the fridge isn't sour, the cat hasn't peed in your shoe, no one beat you and stomped you in the head . Sometimes you're just lucky that you're only laid off for a month, that the van missed the house, that the guy just stole the laptop and didn't shoot you in the chest. Sometimes you're just lucky that you just have a sinus infection, or a spider bite, or you weren't devoured by the the mrsa beast. Sometimes you just get lucky you inherited the thin hair, myopic eyes, but have no propensity to pick up a drink of liqueur and keep picking them up until there is no walking, talking or consciousness.
Sometimes you're just lucky you don't carry these appendages these fungus' that are lodged deep within the soul. There should be no glory in flaunting superiority of sobriety and sanity, but by the grace of God, by the minisculity of a cell, by a bit a luck goes I.

Yes-I suppose luck and genetics has a lot to do with it, but I still do not believe we can blame it all on those factors. If you do not cast some bit of responsibility upon someone for their mistakes, be it a bounced check or broken computer, how are you ever going to alleviate some of the pain? Sometimes I feel like I should apologize because I don't fuck up as much as other people, because it seems that I think a little more before I do. I guess I'm just lucky. This is very well written, though. I love the last line.
