  If you are depressed and find your life monotone and unfulfilling (which I don’t know about them, but if you make a post like that on 4chan, that might be an indicator), knowing your relative privilege probably won’t make you happier.

    I don’t mean privilege, I mean they are literally lucky.

      How so? I mean, they seem to have been successful, in a sense, and nothing bad seems to have happened, but when you say ‘nothing happened’ I feel like you want to say that literally nothing else of significance happened, neither good nor bad. Seems like a rather boring, depressing life.

        Imagine playing blackjack for decades and getting a standoff every single hand. It’d seem boring, but it’d really be extraordinary.

        Also luckier than the average.
