The concept of "bad luck" is reinforced by endless self-comparison with those who had extremely good luck.

It's MUCH more valuable to compare yourself to those who are unlucky: the mentally disabled, those who died from COVID at age 29, those born/raised in North Korea. Compared to these people, we've all hit the fucking jackpot.

Adjust your mindset and you'll notice you're luckier than you thought you were.
