| You know what's stupid? When people say "You're lucky to live in England." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| It's clear that people who say this have absolutely no philosophical notions. | |

| For atheists, the correct statement should be "You have the correct DNA to be born to those parents and live your exact life the way you do, also you're lucky your ancestors were wiser than others." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I could build on that. As for theists, the original statement is closer to their beliefs. For true accuracy, I guess it'd be, "You're lucky that God made you". | |

| What I'm trying to say is that if I wasn't who I was, I'd be... someone else. And then I wouldn't think about how lucky other people were, maybe. I might even agree that I was lucky. | |

| Maybe the universal statement is "You're lucky you're an individual". Or even "You're lucky the universe exists". | |
