That struck me. By some random freaking luck, I was born where I was (in the U.S.) in one of the richest countries in the world.
The randomness of that makes me feel like I want to do more for those that, through no fault of their own, were born in a fucked up place.
Good thoughts ... and it goes to show you that life is a jungle.
