Life is uneven like that. Try to make the best of it.

I am completely healthy while some are born into wheelchairs. I did not earn any of it.

Your health isn't a limited, shared resource

No, but this matters how? It’s just an example of life being unfair.

It's completely different: land is a limited resource, so one person inheriting it prevents another person from having it.

Useless then, because it's not analogous

> Please explain how I have earned this?

You didn't answer the question.

Just saying that’s life. Earning is a useless question.

"Earning" something is not a useless question. As someone who's had things stolen from me before, a large part of the anger comes from feeling like someone took something that you earned through hard work. It's a big reason we criminalise and punish things the way we do as a society.

I know the feeling, yet you did not earn shit. You were on the right side of lucky and we tell ourselves stories of justice.

I didn’t feel lucky when I walked out the college doors and saw my bike was fucking gone.
