RE: The Masters' Contest # 2 – Are you a lucky person? 15 SBD prize

in #contest6 years ago (edited)

My answer is probably not going to be as good as anyone else's, but I am a simple guy so my answer will be simple as well.

I am a lucky person because:

  • I am alive
  • I live in a truly democratic country (Australia) where I am free to say and do almost anything I like
  • I have a beautiful wife who loves me for me
  • My wife and I had a beautiful healthy son with no complications or health issues, almost three years ago. A lot of people these days are finding it hard to have children, requiring IVF and other assistive procedures
  • I have a decent paying job and job security
  • I have a roof over my head and we own our own house (well a mortgage)
  • I have access to clean drinking water, a toilet, hot water to bathe in
  • I eat three meals a day; breakfast, lunch and dinner. I never have to worry about where my next meal is or if I am going to eat today
  • I am healthy and have no debilitating illnesses or disabilities
  • I can read and write because I was afford the privilege of being able to attend school
  • I have access to government subsidised healthcare and prescription medication. I can go see a doctor if I am sick and not have to pay anything.
  • I live in a safe area and can walk around day and night without fear of being assaulted or seriously hurt.

Sometimes luck is just acknowledging what you have, things that a large portion of the world have never had and wish they could have. I am lucky to be born in Australia and have what I have.
